This is the Misfits Boxing 21 main event live blog for Darren Till vs. Darren Stewart, the influencer boxing match taking place Friday at the Vaillant Live in Derby, England.
Till looks to go 3-0 as a pro boxer as he headlines his second straight Misfits Boxing event. In his debut for the promotion this past January, Till scored an impressive sixth-round knockout of Anthony Taylor in a main event clash. “The Gorilla” is a one-time welterweight title challenger in the UFC, but has not competed in MMA since parting ways with the promotion in 2022. He is 18-5-1 as an MMA fighter.
Stewart has also previously fought for the UFC, putting together a 5-7 (2 NC) run with the promotion. He makes his pro boxing debut Friday. In his most recent fight for Cage Warriors in March 2024, Stewart suffered a second-round knockout loss to Carlos Pereira, snapping a four-fight win streak.

Walkouts: Stewart is out in a black t-shirt, with black shorts and black gloves. He’s also rocking black shoes. Man is all business.
Till is out to “Roses” by OutKast. He’s also in a black shirt, but with dark blue shorts and black and red gloves.
Both men are introduced. The crowd is pretty tame here in England. Till looks absolutely enormous compared to Stewart. They meet for final instructions and touch gloves, and we’re off!
Round 1: Stewart out in orthodox, Till in southpaw. Stewart takes the center and backs Till to the ropes quickly. A clinch and some in-fighting. Till with a jab into a nice left. Till with some more power shots. Stewart puts him along the ropes and flurries. He’s crowding Till effectively. Till trying to time a big left hand to sit him down, but hasn’t found it yet.
OH! Till changed it up! He came forward and looped a left hand around the guard and dropped Stewart!!!
Stewart beats the count but he’s a little wobbly. Till trying to put shots on him and Stewart covering up. Credit to him, he’s firing back, and Till isn’t getting too wild. He’s just looking to set that left hand up. Snaps a left down the middle. And another. And then loops a big left hook around the guard. Stewart covering up and moving. No offense from Stewart right now.
Till, again, doesn’t get too aggressive. Nice uppercut that Stewart counters with a right hand but there’s no power on Stewart’s punches now, and the bell sounds.
MMA Fighting scores the round 10-8 Till.
