Darren Till has already made feels clear on Jake Paul or KSI fight as Wembley showdown hinted
Darren Till has set his sights on fighting Jake Paul or KSI by the end of this year as he prepares to make his Misfits debut tonight.
Till faces Anthony Taylor at Co-op Live just under a year after he made his boxing debut against Mohammad Mutie. However, that fight was marred by a mass brawl that erupted following the end of the bout.
The 32-year-old swapped the octagon for the squared circle after he parted ways with the UFC in March 2023. Till had been due to face Tommy Fury tonight, but he pulled out after his rival made a vow to break the fight rules and use MMA moves during a heated press conference to sell the fight.
But Till has no doubt in his mind who he wants to fight next. He said: “I think the goal, and I don’t want to call it an influencer space because I don’t think Jake Paul is an influencer anymore; he is a good boxer, but I think going through stages.
“I think KSI, a grudge match with Mike Perry and Tommy if he is there, who knows, then ultimately Jake Paul, then that would be me done.
“I can then sit back and review things. I have still got that great relationship with the UFC. Would I go back there? But there is also the GFC League, which has just been created in MMA as well.
“There are a lot of opportunities for me. I am just going to take it step by step. I am going to do this fight, and then whatever comes after that comes after that. I don’t want to dive straight in.”
Before he added: “If the Jake Paul fight is not there, I think KSI next would be really good; that is what this fight could be setting up for: me and him in maybe Wembley or Manchester.
“If that does not happen and he goes and fights Conor McGregor, which I know they are meant to be in talks, then there are obviously still other big fights there. “
