Tommy Fury confirms Darren Till fight is off for 'one simple reason' in strongly-worded statement

Tommy Fury and Darren Till were scheduled to face off on January 18 in Manchester but the fight now looks to be off.

Tommy Fury has taken to Instagram to claim his fight with Darren Till is off.

The two were scheduled to face off in a professional boxing bout under KSI's Misfits umbrella on January 18 in Manchester and had a fiery press conference where Till got into it with John Fury and tempers flared.

But on Friday morning, Fury told his fans that the fight is not happening due to Till's refusal to abide by rules and his regular threats to use MMA moves inside the ring if he is down on the scorecards.

Former UFC star Till, who fought for the welterweight title, said he would have no issue kicking Fury in the head in the event of the fight not going to plan.

"At the end of the day, I can’t beat you, I’ll just kick you in the face in there," he said during the pre-fight presser.

"How about that? I’m a proper fighter, not a boxer. I don’t walk in a room like this and see boxing and go, 'sh*t'."

He also added, "If I want to kick you or elbow you in the face, I will, and no one can do anything about it."

A disappointed Fury said he "wasted weeks in training camp" and is now on the hunt for a "better" opponent for his return to the ring. It is unclear whether he will still fight on January 18 at the Co-op live event.

He wrote: "I can't believe I'm writing this but I am now not fighting Darren Till on January 18th 2025. For the one simple reason being that Darren has stated over and over that he does not want to abide by professional boxing rules and that if he is loosing [sic] the fight he will resort to kicking and other stupid MMA tactics.

"I am a professional boxer, I have been out of the ring for over a year and I wanted this to be a great BOXING fight for the fans. I have wasted weeks in training camp. We are working hard to get a new opponent and date. I promise to get a better opponent and better fight for you guys. Good news around the corner."

Fury's record stands at 10-0 after back-to-back wins over Jake Paul and KSI - his last fight coming over a year ago in October 2023.

He is rumoured to have turned down a place in ITV's 'I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here' show because of his intentions to return to the ring.
