Darren Till, the former UFC fighter, is set to make his professional boxing debut on the undercard of the highly anticipated Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul event on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX. Till will be facing former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in what he describes as one of the biggest fights of their generation.
In an interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, Till expressed his excitement for the opportunity, stating that he couldn’t turn down the chance to be a part of such a massive event. Despite Chavez Jr.’s experience in the ring, Till confidently declared that he will knock him out in just two rounds and is already looking ahead to potential future opponents like Jake Paul or Mike Perry.
After being released from the UFC following a loss in his last fight, Till is determined to make a statement in the boxing world and plans to bring an end to the era of influencer boxing. He sees his upcoming fight with Chavez Jr. as just the beginning of his journey in the sport and is focused on putting on a show for the fans.
With his sights set on a successful boxing career, Till is ready to prove himself in the ring and warns Chavez Jr. that he is not coming to make up the numbers in July. Despite showing respect for his opponent’s pedigree, Till is confident in his abilities and is determined to make a lasting impression in the world of boxing.
