Darren Till vs Chase DeMoor Talks Collapse as Both Sides Tell Their Story
Former UFC contender Darren Till took to social media to address the sudden breakdown of his proposed Misfits Boxing fight with Chase DeMoor, making it clear that, from his point of view, the bout was already done.
Till stated that Misfits Boxing co-founder Mams Taylor had finalized the fight between both sides, with the money agreed and all major details settled. According to Till, everything had been put in place and there were no remaining obstacles to making the bout official.
He went on to claim that DeMoor accepted the fight but then pulled out in less than 24 hours, leaving him frustrated and with no further options to move things forward. Till stressed that DeMoor was the one who initially called him out and that he accepted the challenge immediately, doing everything required to make the fight happen.
In his statement, Till said there was nothing more he could do and suggested that the most honourable outcome would be for DeMoor to admit he no longer wanted the fight. He ended his message by saying he would now move on to other opportunities, adding that time is money and he could not afford to wait around.
Chase DeMoor Responds and Explains His Side
Chase DeMoor later issued a detailed response, directly challenging the idea that he simply backed out of a completed deal. According to DeMoor, Mams Taylor personally called him to offer the fight, while also making it clear that another opponent was already lined up if he declined.

DeMoor claimed the initial offer was only one-third of what he earned in his previous fight. Despite that, he said he agreed to face Darren Till at Till’s weight, motivated by the chance to become the first unified double champion in Misfits Boxing history, holding both the pro Bridgerweight and Heavyweight titles at 205 pounds.
He explained that his only request was a written statement from Andrew Tate’s team confirming they would not exercise a rematch clause that they had insisted on adding to the contract. DeMoor said that clause was tied to significantly more money and created a financial risk if left unresolved.
According to DeMoor, two revised offers were later made, but even the highest was still nearly $100,000 less than what he earned in his last fight, which he won. He acknowledged that Mams Taylor was under pressure from both the network and Till’s side to complete the deal within a 24-hour window, suggesting that mixed messages may have been given in an attempt to keep everyone satisfied.
From DeMoor’s perspective, the situation ultimately came down to risk versus reward. He stated that if he fought and won, he would gain very little beyond a belt he had no intention of defending. While making it clear that he was willing to fight Till and had no issue conceding A-side advantages, weight benefits, and top billing, DeMoor concluded by stressing that boxing is prizefighting and that he simply wanted to be paid what he believes he is worth.
