Darren Till vs. Mike Perry in BKFC would bring eye balls from all combat sports, per ranked BKFC contender

Darren Till recently won in his bare knuckle boxing debut, and a ranked featherweight in BKFC is keen on seeing a long-awaited showdown with Till and Mike Perry for the latter’s King of Violence belt.

With Till securing a knockout in the second stanza of his BKFC 90 clash with Aaron Chalmers, many think that a ‘Platinum’ Perry bout could be an all-timer for BKFC if all the parts fall into place. Though Till’s BKFC debut effort was a long time coming, Perry has seemingly just recently left the BKFC orbit, at least temporarily, with a recent return to MMA by beating Nate Diaz on the MVP MMA Netflix card.

There are uncertainties if that fight will happen in bare knuckle this calendar year, but Till is locked in a multi-fight deal with the company. When discussing how a Till-Perry fight could look in BKFC after multiple years of a rivalry that dates back to their days as contracted UFC fighters, ranked featherweight in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship Nathan Rivera said [via Bare Knuckle Bowker],

“Yeah. I think that that has to be their end goal. I’m not writing the book on it, but I mean, if I was in charge, I mean, that would have to be the end goal. Get [Darren Till’s] feet wet in bare knuckle, see how he does, and then run that Mike Perry fight. I mean, that would bring eyeballs from the boxing world, the MMA world, bare knuckle world. I mean, all combat sports in general. That’s definitely an anticipated fight.”

Darren Till claims he was banned from attending Tommy Fury’s fight with Eddie Hall this weekend

Darren Till has another beef with Tommy Fury where the two were supposed to box but the bout became scrapped after the former intimated he might throw kicks at the former Love Island contestant in their Queensberry Rules bout. This created an adjoined rivalry element with Tommy’s father John Fury and Till came out to blast members of the acclaimed boxing family ahead of Tommy Fury’s curiosity-based clash with Eddie Hall on Saturday. Taking to his social media to express his discontent with the Fury family, Till stated,

“Just been informed that I am not allowed to attend the Misfits Boxing event on Saturday [with] Eddie Hall vs. Tommy Fury. I’ve never heard or seen anything so f*cking ridiculous in my life. Apparently John Fury has it in a contract from July that any event Tommy Fury is a part of, I am not allowed to be at.”

“Gang of sh*thouses. If you ever wanted proof. I’ve got Matt Floyd fighting on the event who I was going to support and Luke Nevin. By the way I’m still turning up on a random ticket with a cap and glasses on so we’ll see. You gang of cowards. Cowards the f*cking lot of use. Proper sh*tty bums. Fart bags. See use all there in the stands with my ticket and my disguise.”
