Former UFC fighter Darren Till made his boxing debut at Social Knockout 3 in Dubai, where he secured a victory via technical knockout against Mohammad Mutie. The fight, initially scheduled for four rounds, ended in the second round when Till landed a decisive blow on Mutie, prompting the referee to stop the match. Mutie, reportedly unwilling to continue, led to Till being declared the winner.
However, the post-fight events took a chaotic turn as Mutie instigated a brawl by attacking Till with a kick after the bell. This resulted in a scuffle between the two fighters and their respective teams, requiring intervention to diffuse the situation.
In his post-fight comments, Till expressed disappointment in Mutie's actions, labeling him as a 'coward' for his behavior. Till emphasized his respect for the sport and his regret over the altercation, attributing his response to self-defense in the face of aggression.
Looking ahead, Till revealed his aspirations to face notable opponents such as Jake Paul, Tommy Fury, and Mike Perry in future boxing matches. With an MMA record of 18-5, Till aims to make a mark in the boxing world and continue his competitive journey in the ring.
