Recently, it was announced that Tommy Fury, the brother of renowned British heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury, will return to the ring in January 2025. Tommy Fury’s last appearance in the ring was on October 14, 2023, when he defeated the YouTuber-turned-boxer, KSI.
The fight, part of the Prime Card event, took place in Manchester, UK, and ended with a victory for Fury over KSI by majority decision in the sixth round.
Now, Tommy Fury will face Darren Till on January 18 at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, broadcast live on DAZN.
Fury is returning to the ring for the first time since his win over KSI last year in Manchester.
On the other hand, Darren Till, who made his name in the UFC, is making the leap to professional boxing in what promises to be his toughest bout to date.
Till has been a prominent mixed martial arts fighter, but facing a professional boxer like Fury presents an entirely different challenge.
This fight will be Till’s chance to prove his worth in the boxing ring and show that he can adapt to the demanding world of boxing.
In an interview with DAZN Boxing, Tommy Fury shared his excitement about the matchup.
“It feels great to, finally, say that I am back! I have been out of the ring far too long, I’ve been getting itchy knuckles, and so I am thrilled to be able to announce my return,” expressed Fury.
The young boxer acknowledged Till’s experience in the UFC but warned that facing a professional boxer is a completely different challenge.
“Till had a good UFC career but he’s stepping into the boxing ring now, against a proper pro, and he will quickly realize that he is out of his depth, and this is not the game for him,” said Fury.
For his part, Darren Till expressed confidence and assurance in his skills when discussing the fight. “January 18 is my time, my night,” declared the former UFC fighter.
Till knows that the matchup against Fury will be tough, but he believes he can adapt and surprise the audience.
The showdown between Tommy Fury and Darren Till promises to be an exciting event at the start of 2025.
The mix of styles and the tension between an experienced boxer and an MMA fighter transitioning to boxing ensure a unique spectacle.
