Darren Till is finally set to make his Misfits Boxing debut.
On Sunday, Misfits announced that Till will face Anthony Taylor in an eight-round heavyweight boxing match as the main event of Misfits X Series 20 on Jan. 18 at Co-op Live in Manchester, England. In the co-main events, Wade Plemons faces Masai Warrior in a four-round heavyweight matchup.
Till was originally supposed to face Tommy Fury; however, Fury withdrew from their scheduled bout earlier this month, stating he believed Till would attempt to use “stupid MMA tactics” and that he is a boxer. Till, of course, mocked Fury, stating his comments about kicking were an attempt to build the fight. Nevertheless, Fury still withdrew and so now Till faces Taylor. Most recently, Till defeated Mohammad Mutie via TKO in an exhibition boxing match in July for Social Knockout.
And fortunately, if Till does decide to go into his bag of MMA tricks, his new opponent won’t be too out of sorts. Though Taylor made a name for himself on the influencer boxing scene the past several years, he also has 11 MMA fights to his name, starting his combat sports career out in Bellator.
