Tommy Fury has pulled out of a fight with Darren Till that was supposed to be going ahead on 18 January next year.
It was all pencilled in for them to punch seven shades of s**t out of each other in Manchester next month in a boxing match put on by KSI’s Misfits group, but that now doesn’t look likely.
Fury took to his Instagram Stories to announce he wasn’t going to be fighting Till, accusing his opponent of not wanting to stick to the rules of boxing.
Telling people that there was ‘good news around the corner’, Fury wrote: I can’t believe l’m writing this but I am now not fighting Darren Till on January 18th 2025. 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.

“I am a professional boxer, I have been out of the ring for over a year and I wanted this to be a great BOXING fight for the fans. I have wasted weeks in training camp. We are working hard to get a new opponent and date. I promise to get a better opponent and better fight for you guys.”
In the lead-up to the fight that’s now not happening, Till had made some comments about how if anyone punched him he would ‘kick them in the face’.
At a press conference Till said: “If I’m in that fight and I’m losing I’m gonna go ‘right, I’m kicking him in the face now’ and you ain’t gonna do s**t’.”
He also told Norske Bettingsider about sparring with Tyson Fury, saying he managed to ‘just take him down easily’ and if he could do that to Tyson then Tommy wasn’t going to be a threat to him.
“Here’s the thing. I’m a realist,” Till said about fighting a boxer.
