- Tommy Fury was scheduled to face former UFC star Darren Till in ring next year
- Former Love Island star has claimed that Till is unwilling to abide by boxing rules
Tommy Fury has pulled out of his anticipated showdown with Darren Till, alleging the former UFC welterweight title challenger refuses to ‘abide by professional boxing rules’.
The pair, who were scheduled to meet at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester on January 18, had traded insults, with Till claiming he’s kick the younger Fury brother in the head.
This threat appears to have prompted Fury, whose last fight was a unanimous decision win against Youtuber-turned-boxer KSI last October, to drop out of the contest.
‘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 loosing the fight he will resort to kicking and other stupid MMA tactics.’ The 25-year-old wrote on Instagram.
‘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. Good news around the corner.’

The outspoken Till was quick to respond to Fury – the younger brother of former heavyweight world champion Tyson – labelling him and father John s**thouses and insisting that he didn’t need to ‘throw kicks’ to win the contest.
‘I was selling the fight to make me and you more money you absolute empty head fighting family my a** you and ur dad s**thouses,’ Till wrote on X. ‘I don’t need to throw kicks you was getting knocked spark out you divvy we was making bank on this fight cos of me not you.
‘I was building it you should be fighting and should be thanking me. Over and out… no one wants to fight me… Jake Paul what are you upto you big fat dummy?’
