Darren Till makes brutal U-turn after watching ex-UFC rival's sparring footage
Darren Till is looking to stay busy inside the ring but has shut down a fight with a long-time rival (Image: PA Wire) Darren Till has ruled out a fight with ex-UFC fighter Mike Perry after seeing him spar with top middleweight contender Sean Strickland. After leaving the world's premier MMA organisation in 2023, Till switched to boxing and signed a lucrative contract with Misfits. He made a knockout debut against Anthony Taylor and followed it up with a victory over Darren Stewart earlier this month. The 32-year-old is now eager to stay active following several injury setbacks over the last few years. Till recently laid out his plans for the rest of the year, which included a fight with Jorge Masvidal and Perry, but appears that the former UFC welterweight title contender has had a change of heart. Till and Perry have been embroiled in a heated rivalry for years, which seemed to reach a boiling point over the last few weeks amid speculation of a possible showdown. Perry, who hasn't competed since losing a professional boxing debut to Jake Paul last summer, is looking to make a comeback this year. The 33-year-old American recently trained with Strickland at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas. READ MORE: Jake Paul sparring footage leaves fans concerned ahead of boxing return READ MORE: Mike Tyson offered sensational return against MMA legend after Jake Paul defeat Their intense sparring session, marked by mutual respect, quickly went viral on social media. It wasn't long before Till caught sight of the footage. It is fair to say Till was left unimpressed by the clip. In a post uploaded to X - formerly known as Twitter - he wrote: "Oh god. Oh my f****** god. [Misfits Boxing] I no longer want to fight [Mike Perry] due to how s*** he is, cancel all negotiations now for me please. Thank you!". Speaking about what the future holds, he recently told Plejmo: "Let's bring Misfits now to Liverpool. We haven't brought it to Liverpool. Let's do a main event. Let's do a pay-per-view with a massive star from either America or England, preferably America. A Mike Perry or a Jorge Masvidal, get that done. Get the win in the bag again, have a little bit of time off, and then look towards a f****** barnstormer at the end of the year, if it could be Chavez Jr." Till also revealed he would be open to a blockbuster showdown with Paul next year. "Yes, I'd definitely fight Chavez Jr. Let's say we then do a co-promotion, me and Misfits against Chavez, and then obviously set it up for Jake Paul, let's say the first quarter of next year," the Brit continued. "That's the perfect road. So let's say, fight at the end of the summer against Jorge Masvidal or Mike Perry. And then we set that up [against Chavez] at the end of the year. Then that's me on their [MVP] promotion next year in late March against Jake Paul, then there's maybe one or two fights there with Tommy or Logan Paul."

Darren Till reveals Jake Paul fight date as ex-UFC star lays out boxing hit-list
The former UFC star scored a big win over Darren Stewart earlier this month and the Liverpudlian is now planning on staying busy inside the ring Darren Till wants at least two more fights this year and is eyeing up a blockbuster showdown with Jake Paul in 2026. The ex-UFC welterweight title challenger has been a breath of fresh air since joining Misfits boxing. Till scored a brutal knockout victory over Anthony Taylor in January on his debut before outpointing Darren Stewart earlier this month. With the Liverpudlian naturally on cloud nine following the win over Stewart, Till is now plotting his next moves and has his eyes on a couple of big names. The 32-year-old aims to take on either Mike Perry or Jorge Masvidal in his beloved city of Liverpool, followed by a contest with Julio Chavez Jr later in the year. Till is keen to settle his rivalry with Masvidal after their 2019 UFC encounter ended with 'Gamebred' delivering a knockout blow in London. Speaking about his ambitions for the remainder of 2025, Till told Plejmo: "Let's bring Misfits now to Liverpool. We haven't brought it to Liverpool. Let's do a main event. Let's do a pay-per-view with a massive star from either America or England, preferably America. "A Mike Perry or a Jorge Masvidal, get that done. Get the win in the bag again, have a little bit of time off, and then look towards a f****** barnstormer at the end of the year, if it could be Chavez Jr." Chavez Jr is set to enter the ring with YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul next month. Should the Mexican come away from the bout unscathed, a potential fight with Till be on the cards. The pair were due to fight last year, but the bout was scrapped after Paul's showdown with Mike Tyson was postponed. Till has expressed his eagerness for a major clash with Paul next year, outlining a potential path: "Yes, I'd definitely fight Chavez Jr. Let's say we then do a co-promotion, me and Misfits against Chavez, and then obviously set it up for Jake Paul, let's say the first quarter of next year," he said. "That's the perfect road. So let's say, fight at the end of the summer against Jorge Masvidal or Mike Perry. And then we set that up [against Chavez] at the end of the year. Then that's me on their [MVP] promotion next year in late March against Jake Paul, then there's maybe one or two fights there with Tommy or Logan Paul." After enduring several severe injuries over the last few years, the former UFC star is keen to make up for lost time and is aiming to stay active in the ring. "I would like to fight two more times [this year]. I've had two fights, two more times, so that's four fights. So obviously, that's one at the end of the summer now and then one in the winter," said Till. "To be totally honest with you, I'm saying four times, but if I can make it five times this year, if there's a pull out on a big show. I'll step in because I'm going to stay active." With a clash against Paul potentially on the cards in the future, Till anticipates he would pocket over $5million. In an exclusive interview with All Out Fighting, when asked whether a fight with the 'Problem Child' would appeal to him, the Brit replied: "Well, that's an interesting question… who wouldn't want a fight with Jake? "Of course I would welcome a fight with Jake. We're talking five million plus." On the topic of a potential Paul vs Till showdown, Misfits supremo Mams Taylor told All Out Fighting: "I do think there's going to be a lot of conversations about Darren Till as a potential Jake Paul opponent… not that Jake Paul has expressed interest, but if everything goes to Darren's plan this year, it's going to be hard not to have that conversation for fans. They've already brought it up. Darren is really naturally similar to Jake's weight. They're about the same weight class. I'd say off-season/ on-season, when they're fighting in-between camps, I think they've got a lot of similarities."
