Darren Till Makes Shock Move: Leaves Misfits Boxing for Conor McGregor's BKFC

After his exit from the UFC, many speculated that Darren Till would retire from combat sports entirely. However, Till chose a different path, joining Misfits Boxing in 2025, where he faced Anthony Taylor.

Till secured a TKO victory in that bout and continued his winning streak with two more triumphs against Darren Stewart and Luke Rockhold. Fans believed he had found his niche and were optimistic about his future in the sport.

In a surprising development, Till announced his amicable departure from Misfits Boxing. Subsequently, Darren Till has inked a multi-fight agreement with the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC).

Till expressed his enthusiasm for the move, stating, "I am very pleased to be signing with the BKFC. It’s an amazing promotion! F*** everyone on this roster, I’m coming to be the face of violence. No one can beat me."

Till is slated to make his much-anticipated BKFC debut later this month at BKFC 90. The event, featuring the former UFC contender, is scheduled for May 30 at Birmingham, England’s Utilita Arena.

He is expected to compete in the middleweight division at 185 pounds, marking a new chapter in his combat sports career. While an opponent has yet to be named, excitement is growing among fans keen to witness his transition to bare-knuckle fighting.

Will Darren Till and Mike Perry Finally Clash?

Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship has experienced significant growth over the past two years, largely attributed to Conor McGregor's role as co-founder and ambassador. McGregor's active promotion through various channels has considerably enhanced the organization's visibility and attracted a wider combat sports audience.

Mike Perry stands out as one of BKFC's prominent stars, known for his past heated rivalry with Darren Till in MMA. With Perry currently slated to fight Nate Diaz, fans are left wondering if a long-awaited confrontation with Till will eventually materialize.
