Darren Till slams Tommy Fury for withdrawal from their boxing match
Tommy Fury revealed that he is withdrawing from the boxing match, citing Darren Till's comments about potentially resorting to a head kick or using other MMA techniques if he struggled during the fight.
However, Till has since clarified that his statements were purely promotional to sell the bout and emphasized that he has never violated the rules of combat sports. Taking to X, Till slammed Fury and confirmed that he would remain on the card. He wrote:
“Now I’m the A-side, and I call the shots. Opponent being found as we speak. I have always abided by the rules of fighting my whole life… I was building the fight with Tommy and saying things I knew he would shit himself from because I know deep down he’s not a real fighting man, and now it’s come to fruition what I have said is true."
He continued:
"He has pulled out and shown his true colors. See you all January 18th because no matter what, I’ll be there as I have always been. I always show up and always will for the fans, whether you like me or not."
