Darren Till takes unanimous decision over fellow former UFC star Darren Stewart
Till, who left the UFC in 2023, won by scores of 77-73, 77-74, and 77-74 and was having his second professional boxing match after beating Anthony Taylor by technical knockout in January this year. The event, under the Misfits Boxing banner, took place at the Vaillant Live in Derby, UK.
The fight saw Till known down Stewart twice: once in the second minute of the first round and at the closing bell of the final round. A looping left hand that was part cross and part hook sent Stewart to the canvas and he seemed lucky not to have been stopped.
Till appeared to be in difficulty in the fifth and sixth rounds, and the fight was close until the seventh when a cut appeared over Till's right eye.
It was the second knockdown that seemed controversial, and it came at the end of the fight – in the closing stages of the eighth round – when Stewart appeared to become trapped in the ropes. Despite seeming to come when Stewart had his back turned, the referee began to give a count that lasted until after the bell had sounded.
Later, Till posted a series of pictures of himself and Stewart on Instagram, taken after their fight.
Till wrote: 'War and peace go hand in hand. It was a please, @darren_mma.'
Stewart replied: '----ing loved sharing the ring with you, bro.'
Later, Till posted a photograph of him and Stewart holding glasses of beer, to which Stewart responded with, 'Love you, bro.'
After the fight, Till also said that he would love to face former world champion Carl Froch.
As reported here over the weekend, Till said: '"My coach is here, he knows full well I'll fight Carl Froch.'
He added: "I'm a realist Kugan, Carl Froch is one of the best British fighters we've ever produced. He's a f—g animal, he was just behind Calzaghe. But that doesn't mean I won't fight that motherf—g big nose c—t any day of the week.'

Goodbye Kia Ceed! Popular hatch has been sensationally killed off in the UK
The Kia Ceed has been removed from sale in the UK, marking the end of almost 20 years on the market. A Kia spokesperson confirmed the news as the XCeed variant received an update for 2026 with new engines and equipment. While this crossover edition lives on, the Ceed in its hatchback guise, as well as the Sportswagon estate and ProCeed shooting brake, have ended production and sales. Kia said: 'The end of Ceed family production frees up our manufacturing plant in Zilina, Slovakia to produce the EV4 – Kia's first European-built EV – as we prepare to offer an electric C-segment hatchback for the first time. It also frees up space on the production line for EV2, which will be manufactured in Slovakia from early 2026.' Advertisement - Article continues below While Kia's all-electric range of EV-branded vehicles is growing, the Korean firm will maintain a spot in the internal combustion-engined hatch sector with the upcoming K4 - which we've already driven over in the US where it's already on sale. The Ceed first went on sale in 2006 – with the 'Cee'd' name – and quickly became a huge success for Kia, thanks to its industry-leading seven-year warranty, attractive pricing and solid build quality. Lotus was even involved in the original Cee'd's suspension tuning, although it was never a hot hatch by any means. While you can't buy a new Kia Ceed anymore you can check out the Auto Express Marketplace, where you'll find loads of great deals on used Ceeds, including the ProCeed and the Ceed Sportswagon. Having launched a year after the third and final generation of the Ceed, the XCeed will continue to be produced in Slovakia for the UK market.
