Darren Till says he couldn’t stick around for the entire Misfits Mania main event between Andrew Tate and Chase DeMoor because he thought it was as bad as it gets in combat sports.
DeMoor pulled off a huge upset at Saturday’s influencer boxing event, defeating the polarizing Tate via majority decision. Till, who has become a rising star in Misfits Boxing since parting ways with the UFC, was asked to give his reaction to the bout, and says he had to exit the arena after just a few rounds.
“I’ve given
my life — 20 years to this sport — I strive, myself, on pure, striking martial arts,” Till told Charlie Parsons. “I consider myself one of the best striking martial artists in the world. A pair of numpties call me out like that, and I’m sat ringside.
“I had to leave, because it disrespects everything I believe in and everything I’ve trained for. What am I watching? I’m actually unlearning as I’m watching. So, yeah. What?”
Till was hoping to possibly face Tate in the boxing ring, but after Tate’s performance, he knew that ship had sailed. “The Gorilla” is 2-0 in the promotion, including stoppage wins of Anthony Taylor and former UFC champ Luke Rockhold.
