Former UFC title challenger Darren Till was back in the boxing ring Friday as he defeated fellow promotional alum Darren Stewart in an eight-round exhibition bout.
The bout headlined Misfits & DAZN X Series 21 at Vaillant Live in Derby, Derbyshire, England. Till defeated Stewart by unanimous decision (77-74, 77-74, 77-73).
The match almost never made it to the judges' scorecards, however. Till rocked Stewart badly late in Round 8 with a perfectly-targeted straight left. The blow left "The Dentist" seemingly out of his wits as the final bell rang. The final knockdown further solidified the win for Till, who was on his way to a victorious outing regardless.
Till, 32, moves to 3-0 in exhibition boxing since his UFC departure. Wins prior to Friday's fight included Mohammad Mutie and Anthony Taylor. Till also had bout vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Tommy Fury fall through.
Till asked for his promotional release in early 2023 to pursue other ventures and the UFC obliged. Till currently has a 6-5-1 UFC record. It's unclear if he plans to ever return to the promotion, but has indicated he left the company on good terms.
