Darren Till will make his highly-anticipated bare-knuckle boxing debut against former reality TV star Aaron Chalmers this evening.
Till – a former UFC welterweight title challenger – parted ways with the UFC three years ago in a bid to pursue another sport. Last year, the Scouse scrapper established himself as a real star of Misfits Boxing – beating the likes of Anthony Taylor, Darren Stewart before winning the inaugural MFB bridgerweight title against UFC icon Luke Rockhold.
Earlier this year, it was announced that the ‘Gorilla’ would be parting ways with the promotion – news which sent shockwaves around the combat sports world – but Till insists he left Misfits on good terms. The 33-year-old was quick to sign with BKFC, and it did not take long for him to secure a fight. Despite Chalmers’ presence on our screens over the years, the 39-year-old does have quite the experience as a fighter. The Geordie famously fought Floyd Mayweather Jr in an exhibition clash three years ago. And so, here is everything you need to know ahead of tonight’s action…
