Former UFC star Darren Till has a few big names in mind for his return to the Misfits Boxing ring.
After Darren Till denied interest in a return to MMA, he’s turned his full-time attention towards forwarding his professional boxing career. He’s off to a great start so far with a 2-0 run in Misfits Boxing, including Till’s brutal knockout of Anthony Taylor in January.
Till and longtime foe Mike Perry have traded barbs over a potential fight, as the two sides have told different stories over recent negotiations. Perry recently told Bloody Elbow that Till could become the ‘face’ of Dirty Boxing Championship if they secure their long-awaited grudge match under his promotion.
But Perry isn’t the only marquee name on Till’s mind for his next Misfits Boxing booking.

In a recent post to X, Till revealed his four-man boxing hitlist for his return to Misfits Boxing.
“People aren’t getting it and neither are some of these fighters,” Till began.
“When I say no one will fight me or people are turning down fights. This doesn’t just mean that everyone who is willing to make a name for themselves can call me out & if I don’t respond I am scared. It has to make sense & you have to be a pay-per-view draw.
“Most of you donuts who are calling me out couldn’t sell out a phone box.
“Me & Misfits Boxing are looking for pay-per-view stars that bring in crowds and people who are willing to pay to watch me and someone else punch the —- out of each other. So unless you are that. Keep ur mouth shut and you can be on the undercard if ur nice to me.
“Mike Perry, Nate Diaz, Jorge Masvidal, Carl Froch. Can we get this done with one of you? Any of you? I don’t mind taking less money. Being the B side. Anything. Let’s just fight.”
Jorge Masvidal kicked off 2019 ‘resurrection’ with Darren Till knockout
Till’s callout of Masvidal could potentially mean a rematch of their 2019 welterweight clash. Masvidal began his ‘Fighter of the Year’ run with a brutal come-from-behind knockout over Till that led to high-profile wins over Ben Askren and Nate Diaz.
After retiring from MMA at UFC 287, Masvidal recently teased a return to the UFC Octagon, but nothing has come to fruition as of this writing. He fought Diaz in a boxing match last year, losing by unanimous decision.
Carl Froch is another interesting name to watch, as the former world champion has repeatedly teased a comeback fight against the likes of Jake Paul and other intriguing names. Froch hasn’t fought since knocking out George Groves to retain his super middleweight titles in 2014.
