When talks first surfaced about a potential clash between Tommy Fury and Darren Till, the crossover boxing scene buzzed with excitement. The idea of Fury—already established as one of the biggest names in influencer boxing—going toe-to-toe with former UFC contender Till had all the makings of a blockbuster. But as negotiations dragged on, the fight never materialized. Now, with Till making waves in Misfits Boxing, fans are beginning to ask: did Tommy Fury dodge a bullet?
Rumoured Clash That Fell Apart
At one point, Fury vs Till looked like the next logical big-money fight. Fury, fresh off his victory over Jake Paul, was being lined up for huge opportunities, and Till’s transition into influencer boxing made the matchup seem inevitable. Yet for reasons never fully revealed, the fight collapsed before contracts were signed. Fury moved on to explore other high-profile bouts, while Till wasted no time proving he belongs in the ring.

Darren Till’s Explosive Rise in Misfits
Since making his debut, Darren Till has quickly become one of the most dangerous names on the Misfits roster. Known for his UFC pedigree and striking power, Till has adapted to the influencer boxing stage seamlessly. His recent performance against Luke Rockhold was nothing short of spectacular—delivering a devastating knockout that shook the Misfits scene and reminded everyone of his finishing ability. With each fight, Till builds momentum and credibility as a crossover star who can draw eyes while also delivering violent highlights.
What It Means for Tommy Fury
Tommy Fury may still be undefeated, but he hasn’t had the same knockout-driven impact in his recent outings as Till. While Fury’s win over Jake Paul solidified his status as a crossover boxing figure, some critics argue that facing Darren Till would have been his toughest test yet. Till’s striking pedigree, durability, and fight IQ could have spelled serious trouble.
Did Fury Dodge a Bullet?
It’s impossible to know how a Fury vs Till fight would have played out, but given Till’s current form, many fans believe Fury might have gotten lucky that the bout fell apart. Till’s devastating KO win over Rockhold showed he’s not just in Misfits for entertainment—he’s here to prove himself as a legitimate threat. Whether Fury intentionally steered clear or simply moved on to different opportunities, the question lingers: did he avoid the toughest opponent of his crossover career?
