Former UFC fighter who left after losing to Dricus du Plessis gives six-word prediction for rumored fight with Jake Paul

A former UFC fighter recently shared his prediction for a potential boxing showdown with Jake Paul. 'The Problem Child' has cemented his place as one of the leading and controversial names in crossover boxing, attracting a long list of fighters vying for a chance to face him in the ring.

Former UFC welterweight title contender Darren Till, now signed with the Misfits Boxing banner, hinted at "potential big fight news" last week in a post on X, suggesting that a showdown with Paul could be on the horizon for the summer.

Till's comments were also addressed by Misfits Boxing co-promoter Mams Taylor, who did not outright dismiss the potential bout. Instead, he suggested the possibility of exploring a cross-promotional event with Paul's Most Valuable Promotions down the line.

'The Gorilla' recently responded to rumors surrounding a potential fight card that would feature him headlining against the YouTuber-turned-boxer, alongside other prominent names from both boxing promotions. Till confidently predicted an early finish in his favor:

"I win inside of four rounds."

Check out Darren Till's post below:

The 32-year-old Scouser departed the UFC following a challenging stretch, securing only one victory in his last six bouts with the promotion. His final fight was against reigning middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis at UFC 282 in December 2022, where he endured a submission defeat.

'The Gorilla' is fresh off a dominant sixth-round TKO victory over Anthony Taylor in his promotional debut at Misfits Boxing 20, held at Co-op Live in Manchester, England, on Jan. 18.

Meanwhile, 'The Problem Child' was last in the ring in November, where he faced 58-year-old boxing legend Mike Tyson, clinching a unanimous decision victory.

"MMA/UFC career fact check: Silva > Woodley > Diaz > Askren > Perry > Till (got spanked by Tyron)."
