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."

15 discontinued McDonald's menu items Brits want to see return
McDonald's discontinued menu items do occasionally return, and now a new study has analysed 65 of Brits' favourite dishes to judge which ones are most missed. The Chicken Big Mac topped the list, generating almost 10,000 monthly searches. Other popular items in the rankings include the Double Big Mac, Biscoff McFlurry, and the Big Tasty. The research, carried out by Plejmo, analysed online search volumes for 65 discontinued McDonald's items, ranging from the Halloumi Fries to the McHotDog. The study examined average monthly searches in the UK over the past year and revealed the items customers are most eager to see return. The data analysis highlighted a strong interest in the Chicken Big Mac among the UK public, a chicken-based twist on the classic Big Mac, with an average of 9,836 monthly searches. Recently launched for a limited time in the US in October, and popular in Canada, the burger previously had a short-lived UK release in 2022, where it sold out in just ten days. The Chicken Big Mac featured a triple bun, crispy chicken patties, cheddar cheese, pickles, lettuce, and Big Mac sauce, all at 530 calories. McDonald's released a 'special limited edition' chicken Big Mac in Canada. It's something. — patrick (@imPatrickT) March 7, 2023 The Double Big Mac ranks as the second most sought-after item, with a monthly search volume of 6,181. Available for just two weeks in November 2024, this fan-favourite featured four 100% British and Irish beef patties, Big Mac sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, and onions on a sesame bun, packing a hefty 740 calories. It was priced at £5.39 on its own or £7.19 as part of a meal. Next on the list is the Biscoff McFlurry, which receives 5,322 monthly searches. Originally introduced to menus in July 2023, it was discontinued after just six weeks. McDonald's has unveiled one of its 'most requested collabs', a Biscoff range including a Biscoff McFlurry, Biscoff shake and Biscoff Coffee Frappe.

Despite only being available for a few weeks, fans are anticipating another comeback this spring. Whether in its regular, spicy, or with bacon-topped version, the Big Tasty remains a UK favourite, attracting an average of 4,050 monthly searches. While not drastically different from a typical McDonald's burger, it stands out with Emmental cheese and smoky sauce. At 799 calories, the Big Tasty was last available in restaurants in 2024, with a meal priced at approximately £7.59. Hey @McDonalds Since it's the season of good will to all men, can you please consider bringing the Big Tasty stateside? I've never ever seen it over here since living in NY… and I miss it dearly from back home in the UK. I think it's a smart move to run it as a trial. 😏 — Nick - 𝕏 🛸 (@nickyducky) November 29, 2024 In fifth place is the Big Breakfast, which receives 3,583 monthly searches as fans continue to call for its return after being discontinued in 2016. First introduced in the 1990s, the meal featured a hash brown, scrambled egg, sausage patty, and a toasted muffin, containing just over 1,000 calories. While it remains unavailable in the UK, it can still be found on US menus, with online petitions pushing for its comeback. Other menu items missed by customers include: Steakhouse Stack Chicken Legend Skittles McFlurry Chilli Cheese Bites Breakfast Bagel Halloumi Fries Kit Kat McFlurry Creme Egg McFlurry Toffee Sundae McArabia Recommended reading: Discontinued chocolates still available in UK stores Cadbury issues update on return of Spira chocolate bar The cheapest supermarket for pancake ingredients may come as a surprise Max Dahlquist from Plejmo said of the research: "Since opening its first UK restaurant in the 1970s, McDonald's has offered a variety of limited-edition items, from fan favourites like the Chicken Fajita wrap, Galaxy McFlurry, and McRib to more unique choices such as the forgotten Onion Nuggets. 'Despite being discontinued, many of these items still spark significant online search interest years after their removal. This continued demand highlights the emotional connection people have with these nostalgic foods. "It also shows the power of consumer desire, proving that with the right touch, McDonald's can bring these beloved items back and reignite excitement.'
