Darren Till Says He Will Not Chase Tommy Fury After Romero Win
Darren Till did not leave Manchester hunting a boxing rematch that already died once.
Still cut and swollen after beating Yoel Romero at BKFC 94, Till was asked by iFL TV whether a second run at Tommy Fury interested him. “It does not, for me, no,” Till said. “Not interested.”
The question was fair. Till and Fury were booked for a Misfits Boxing date that collapsed in late 2024 after Till talked about using MMA tactics if the fight got away from him. Fury pulled out. The argument has followed both men ever since.
Till did not reopen it as unfinished business on Saturday. “I don’t care about it,” he said. “And honestly, if it comes, it doesn’t. It doesn’t change anything.”
That is as close as he came to leaving a door open. He is not calling Fury out. He is not asking BKFC to chase the name.
BKFC 94 headlined the AO Arena on September 26. Till won a five-round unanimous decision, 49-46 on all three cards, in a 190-pound catchweight. Romero dropped him late in the third and opened the cut under his right eye that was still leaking when the cameras found him.
The judges still gave Till the rounds that mattered. He is now 2-0 in bare-knuckle after stopping Aaron Chalmers in May.
The Fury talk sat next to that result because promoters and interviewers keep putting it there. Till treated it like noise.
“I don’t hold no ill will, and I don’t think you should in the fight game,” he said. “Why should we hold ill will outside of fighting?”
He even offered the family a line that sounded closer to a send-off than a threat. “I hope Tommy Fury and his family continue with the television and social media,” Till said.
That is the version he gave with blood on his face. Other post-fight clips from the same night were sharper. In those, Till said he was done answering Fury questions and pointed instead toward Mike Perry. Those remarks are his as well. They are not the same as a signed fight.
Nothing about Saturday booked Till versus Fury in boxing or in BKFC. Fury has not accepted a bare-knuckle date in this clip. Till did not demand one.
The history is simple. A crossover boxing match was on the table. It came off. Till has since stacked gloved wins and two BKFC victories. Fury has stayed in boxing. Their paths have not crossed in a ring.
Till’s stance now is that he will not spend another cycle chasing that name. If the fight appears, it appears. If it does not, he said he can live with seeing the other side on the street without carrying it as a grudge.
That is a different tone from the videos he posted when the Misfits card died. It is also a different sport. Bare-knuckle at 190 pounds against Romero is not the same assignment as a gloved Misfits main event.
Romero, 49, made him bleed and made him get off the floor. Till still left with the decision and the hometown crowd. The next booking, whatever BKFC puts in front of him, will decide whether the Fury talk fades or comes back on another microphone.
Till already gave his answer once the fight was over. He is not interested in hunting Tommy Fury. He is interested in whoever actually stands across from him next.
