Darren Till calls out former professional soccer player for a cage fight as he explains ‘Twitter beef’

Throughout his MMA career, it has become no secret that Darren Till is one of the most outspoken figures in the sport and has called several big names along the way.

Darren Till was once considered one of the top prospects in the UFC and in 2018 he took a step closer when he fought for the welterweight title.

Unfortunately for the Brit, he was dominated by Tyron Woodley and his MMA career subsequently went downhill after being plagued by several injuries.

Darren Till calls on Gary Neville for a cage fight as he explains their 'Twitter beef'

The last name to be mentioned by 'The Gorilla' is former professional footballer Gary Neville. The former footballer made 400 appearances for one of the biggest clubs in the world, Manchester United, while making 85 appearances for his national team.

When Till was asked in an interview who he would like to fight against from the world of football, the Liverpool Manchester legend chose Neville. Liverpool FC and Manchester United form one of the greatest rivalries in world football.

“Gary Neville because me and him have had Twitter beef. He doesn't like me. I'm having a bit of a fight with Gary. I don't hate that guy, but yeah, it would probably be Gary Neville or Cristiano Ronaldo, because he seems like a big, tough guy, Cristiano.

'I would like to see his speed and strength. Seems like a very explosive man. He's clearly ripped to the gills, right? You know, he doesn't drink Coca-Cola or anything like that. I have to take a leaf out of his book,” Till continued.

Since moving to the Saudi side, Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo has been present at a number of major combat sports events, ranging from boxing events to PFL MMA events.

Darren Till will take on Tommy Fury in Misfits Boxing

Despite Till's bizarre appeal against Neville, he is in fact scheduled for his second appearance in the boxing ring after a wild debut earlier this year against Mohammed Mutie.

The 31-year-old will face former opponent of Jake Paul and Tyson Fury's younger brother, Tommy Fury.

The fight was announced earlier this month and will take place on January 18 at the Co-op Arena in Manchester, England. Surprisingly, the fight will take place at heavyweight, despite most of Till's MMA career being fought at welterweight, 170 pounds.

The two recently took part in a press conference after the fight was announced, and an onstage brawl ensued after Tommy's father, John Fury, threw an open bottle of water at Till.
