Darren Till Claims the World Is “F***ed” as Anthony Joshua Is Dragged From a Car
Former UFC title contender Darren Till has sparked widespread discussion after reacting angrily to a disturbing video involving Anthony Joshua that circulated online this week.
The footage shows Joshua being dragged from a car following a serious crash. Two people who were travelling in the same vehicle tragically lost their lives. Joshua survived the incident, but the scenes prompted a furious response from Till, who used the moment to criticise what he believes is a wider problem with modern society.
In a strongly worded post on social media, Till said watching the clip made him realise how broken the world has become. While expressing hope that Joshua was okay, Till made it clear his anger was aimed at the behaviour of those at the scene. According to him, instead of showing concern, many people chose to pull out their phones and record what was happening.
Till described Joshua as looking clearly unwell in the video and questioned why filming had become the automatic reaction in such a serious situation. For him, the moment symbolised a loss of basic human empathy, where capturing content takes priority over helping others.
Till Criticises Celebrity Culture and Public Behaviour
Till went on to connect the Joshua incident with what he sees as a broader obsession with celebrities. He referenced a recent event involving Cristiano Ronaldo in Dubai, where large crowds reportedly chased and surrounded the football star during an awards ceremony.
While acknowledging that the two situations were not comparable in terms of severity, Till argued they both reflected the same issue. In his view, people forget that public figures are still human beings, even in moments of danger or vulnerability. He criticised what he described as fully grown adults acting without perspective or restraint, calling the behaviour pathetic.

Till’s comments quickly divided opinion online. Some supported his stance, agreeing that the instinct to film rather than help has become disturbingly common. Others felt his language was extreme, though many acknowledged the wider point he was making.
The incident has reignited discussion around smartphone culture and how people respond to emergencies, especially when famous figures are involved. For Till, the message was clear. When empathy is replaced by filming, and tragedy becomes content, something has gone badly wrong.
