Darren Till claims Nate Diaz bailed on boxing match, but another UFC star is ‘interested’

Darren Till claims Nate Diaz bailed on plans to meet in the boxing ring this August. The good news is that another UFC veteran is allegedly considering accepting the fight at a later date.

Till spent most of his UFC career speaking in the welterweight division, where he notably came up short in a title fight against Tyron Woodley. However, he also competed in the middleweight division.

In 2023, after a trio of losses to Robert Whittaker, Derek Brunson and Dricus Du Plessis, the popular Brit parted ways in the UFC. He’s competed in three boxing matches since then. First he knocked out Mohammad Mutie and Anthony Taylor. Most recently, he scraped by fellow UFC veteran Darren Stewart.

Till hoped to keep his momentum going against Diaz, who spent his UFC career in the lightweight and welterweight divisions. However, he is now claiming that Diaz wasn’t interested—presumably because he’d be very undersized. Interestingly, Till also claimed Jorge Masvidal and Mike Perry have been reluctant to fight him.

That being said, there is one accomplished UFC veteran who is allegedly keen: none other than Tyron Woodley.

Apparently, Woodley is up for the fight, but sometime after August.

“I had fight news to announce to everyone this week,” Till said on social media. “Nate Diaz called the fight on with me, he wanted to fight me on the second of August. Obviously, I accepted. Now he’s pulled out of the fight. Carl Froch said on his YouTube channel that he only needs four weeks to fight me, now he’s saying he only wants to fight me next year. Tyron Woodley said he’d be interested but not right now. Jorge Masvidal said he’s not interested — in fact, Masvidal priced himself out.”

“Mike Perry priced himself out, even though Mike Perry offered me $350,000 to fight in his promotion,” Till continued. “Mike Perry priced himself out by five times that. I need to go in August now against any one of you, but you are all giving out excuses, this and that, even though two of you have beat me. Nate Diaz is the one who called the fight on with me. So you are all a gang of absolute (expletive) ponies.”
