The back-and-forth verbal sparring between Mike Perry and Darren Till shows no sign of stopping, particularly concerning a potential boxing match between the two.
Ever since Till departed the UFC in 2023, both fighters have frequently hinted at facing each other in a boxing ring, although a bout has yet to be officially arranged.
The conversation gained fresh momentum on Friday. After securing a hard-fought decision victory over Darren Stewart at Misfits Boxing 21, Till once again named Perry as a potential next opponent. It didn`t take long for Perry to issue a response.
Speaking via Instagram, Perry didn`t hold back his criticism:
“Darren Till, you still built like a 50-year-old bicyclist. Head full of gray hairs. I’m ready. Y’all gotta come correct. Let’s get off these bullshit offers. You said you wanted 300 or 350 [thousand]. We offered it to you in Dirty Boxing. You said we tried to lowball you, you tried to lowball me! Or Misfits tried to lowball me. So y’all want me to fight you in Liverpool, your city, your country, come over there, compensate me for it, and I’ll happily come punch those big fake white teeth out of your mouth.”
Till`s reaction to Perry`s public challenge was equally swift, albeit significantly more concise.
He responded simply: “Shit for brains.”
Following his exit from the UFC in 2021, Perry transitioned to Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, where he has become a prominent star, securing five victories. He has also recently launched his own mixed-rules promotion titled `Dirty Boxing` and competed in traditional boxing, suffering a TKO defeat to Jake Paul last July.
Meanwhile, Till made his professional boxing debut in 2024, following it up by stopping fellow MMA veteran Anthony Taylor at Misfits Boxing 20 in January.
