Darren Till is set to deliver a high-intensity performance in his second Misfits Boxing appearance, guaranteeing an abundance of violence. The former UFC title contender is slated to face fellow MMA fighter Darren Stewart in the main cruiserweight bout this Friday at Misfits Boxing 21 in Derby, England. Both athletes successfully made weight for their upcoming contest and subsequently participated in a face-off.
During their staredown, both Englishmen displayed mutual respect. Till specifically stated his preference to avoid typical trash talk, focusing instead on building anticipation for the actual fight. He articulated his clear intention: to achieve a knockout victory over the scheduled eight rounds.
Till emphasized that while respect is acknowledged outside the ring, the fight itself is fundamentally about “violence” and the objective to “annihilate each other,” with respect being re-established only once the bout concludes. He suggested that the audience`s primary motivation for attending is witnessing this intense fighting action, rather than pre-fight theatrics.
The Misfits Boxing 21 fight card features nine fights. Another significant event is Chase DeMoor`s defense of his heavyweight title against Canada`s Tanner Tolman. DeMoor had previously created a spectacle during a press conference by accurately throwing a bottle at past opponent Tempo Arts, nearly escalating into a physical altercation involving Arts and another rival, Godson Umeh. However, DeMoor`s interaction with Tolman during the weigh-ins proved to be far less confrontational.
Following a slightly awkward verbal exchange between DeMoor and Tolman, Tolman presented DeMoor with a gift purportedly from Godson. Opening a small case, he revealed a candy necklace, which DeMoor promptly began to consume. Tolman conveyed Godson`s message: “He feels bad. Just something he thought you were worth.”
