Tommy Fury had taken to Instagram to claim his fight with Darren Till is now off.
The pair were meant to fight on January 18th but Fury has claimed the former UFC star’s claims that he will kick him and ‘break boxing rules’ has meant he’s moved on from the fight.
In a post on Instagram he wrote:
‘I can’t believe I’m writing this but I am now not fighting Darren Till on January 18th 2025. For the one simple reason being that Darren has stated over and over that he does not want to abide by professional boxing rules and that if he is loosing the fight he will resort to kicking and other stupid MMA tactics. I am a professional boxer, I have been out of the ring for over a year and I wanted this to be a great BOXING fight for the fans. I have wasted weeks in training camp. We are working hard to get a new opponent and date. I promise to get a better opponent and better fight for you guys. Good news around the corner.’
Now Till has had his say in several posts on social media he has fired back at team Fury.
In a lengthy post on x formerly Twitter he wrote: ‘Just so everyone knows and is clear Tommy Fury was the A side in this event.
Which means he was getting more money and he gets to call the shots over me which is rightfully so He’s the boxer and he’s the bigger name.
So if this is the case he could not fight me and fight someone else
This is not happening Tommy has pulled out and I’m still main eventing on that date
Now I’m the A side and I call the shots
Opponent being found as we speak
I have always abided by the rules of fighting my whole life
I was building the fight with Tommy and saying things I knew he would shit himself from cos I know deep down he’s not a real fighting man
And now it’s come to fruition what I have said is true
He has pulled out and shown his true colours
See you all January 18th cos no matter what I’ll be there as I have always been
I always show up and always will for the fans whether you like me or not
Someone find John Fury for me cos he’s not answering the phone probably butting young coaches again or punching glass
Hahahahahahahahaha pigs eyes.’
