Darren Till will not be fighting Jake Paul on Christmas Eve — a Doumbe decision on Paul’s part.
But the former UFC middleweight will hopefully get an opportunity to fight some “big names” under the BKFC banner “very shortly,” according to promotion president David Feldman.
“We’re going to have some big names for Darren Till in the mix very, very shortly,” Feldman told MMA Fighting. “One of them will be part of our announcement we’re going to make in the next couple weeks.”
Sounds like we can rule out
this potential rematch.
“It comes to do we have something for Darren Till that makes sense?” Feldman said about the Paul fight. “Is the timing going to be right? If we have to lay him off for eight, nine months, it’s only fair to let him go out and make a payday because the momentum’s going to be killed anyway if we don’t have a fight for him. But if we have a fight that I think we’re going to have in the next two weeks to announce, then obviously he’s fighting for BKFC. If we don’t then there is an option for him to possibly to fight a Jake Paul or something like that.”
Paul is coming off a “chess match” against Yoel Romero at BKFC 94.
