Tommy Fury Withdraws from Fight
In a shocking turn of events, Tommy Fury has announced he is withdrawing from his highly anticipated fight against Darren Till, scheduled for January 18, 2025, at Misfits Boxing 20. Fury took to Instagram to express his disbelief and reasoning behind this unexpected decision.
"I can’t believe I’m writing this, but I've decided not to fight Darren Till as he insists he won't adhere to professional boxing rules. He has repeatedly stated that if he finds himself losing, he may resort to kicking and other MMA tactics. As a dedicated professional boxer who hasn’t been in the ring for over a year, I wanted our bout to be a true boxing match for the fans. After weeks of rigorous training, I feel this decision is in the best interest of everyone involved. We are working diligently to find a new opponent and schedule, and I promise to bring you a more exciting match," Fury stated in his post.
Darren Till's Reaction
Darren Till, however, was quick to express his frustration over the news. Threatening to unleash his disappointment, Till took to Twitter to criticize Fury’s lack of commitment and accused him of being unprepared. “Tommy, you were never ready for the fight. Don't ever show your face again! You are the biggest coward I’ve ever met! I was promoting this fight for us both, and you should be thanking me for it!” he ranted.
In a bold proclamation, Till declared himself the new A-side of the event, claiming that he will still headline the card on January 18, regardless of Fury’s withdrawal. “I have always followed the rules of fighting and was building this matchup. It’s clear now that Tommy is not the fighter he claims to be. I’ll be there to give the fans a show, whether they like me or not!” Till asserted, leaving fans curious about his replacement opponent.
