It appears Tommy Fury has pulled out of his boxing match against Darren Till.
Fury (10-0) was scheduled to face Till (0-0) at a Misfits Boxing event Jan. 18 at Co-op Live in Manchester, United Kingdom. During their heated press conference, Till threatened to kick Fury in the head if he’s down on the scorecards during their fight.
And apparently Fury took his threat seriously?
“I can’t believe I’m writing this, but I am now not fighting Darren Till on Jan. 18 2025,” Fury wrote in an Instagram story. “For the one simple reason being that Darren has stated over and over that he does not want to abide by professional boxing rules, and that if he is losing the fight he will resort to kicking and other stupid MMA tactics.”
Till has been left baffled by Fury’s withdrawal. He claims the kicking threats were merely mental warfare and his attempt to sell the fight.

An angry Till continued to rant, and turned his attention to Jake Paul.
“Tommy Fury u are the biggest sh*thouse I have ever met in my life do not ever call yourself a fighter again.
