Gorilla Promotions: Prize Fighter Format and Fresh Opportunities

Alongside the Fight Club announcement, Darren Till unveiled Gorilla Promotions, a new boxing venture built around an exciting Prize Fighter concept. In this format, the winner takes home a £5,000 top prize along with the prestigious Gorilla Promotions Championship Belt.

Till explained that after being approached by numerous fighters seeking help to break into shows, he decided to create his own promotion to give both up-and-coming and established boxers real opportunities to showcase their skills. Gorilla Promotions will also feature special celebrity matchups, adding a mini Misfits-style twist to the night.

The Road Ahead: January Debut and Big Names in Social Boxing

According to the announcement, Gorilla Promotions’ first show is set for mid-January, with some of the biggest names in social boxing media expected to participate in the buildup and live coverage. The event will not be limited by traditional weight classes, and additional fights will be held outside of the Prize Fighter format.

Till’s message is clear—every fighter will be paid, and those willing to back themselves will find a new platform to rise. With inboxes already open for fighters to register interest, anticipation is building for what promises to be a standout moment in the boxing calendar.
