UFC middleweight veterans Darren Till and Luke Rockhold are scheduled to fight in the upcoming Misfits Boxing 22: “Ring of Thrones” pay-per-view (PPV) co-main event on DAZN on Sat., Aug. 30, 2025 at AO Arena in Manchester, England.
Till and Rockhold had to be separated at today’s Misfits Boxing 22 press conference after a chest bump from “The Gorilla” turned their somewhat-friendly staredown into an impromptu grappling match, forcing security to intervene.

Plus the surprisingly chill staredown between Tony Ferguson and Salt Papi:

Ferguson headlines the Misfits Boxing 22 event in Manchester.
“I actually think Luke could have been a GOAT, like truly,” Till said during today’s presser. “What gets Luke in trouble is his ego, his pride, how vain he is, and all that stuff. When you put that together as a collective, psychologically, he fails at it. And that’s what happens with Luke, his ego is too much. You can’t have an ego like this in this game.”
Pot, meet kettle.
