Darren Till has still claimed to do with the broken hand he suffered during his fight with Darren Stewart in May.
On Saturday evening, Till will take the biggest step in his boxing trip when he is facing Luke Rockhold in the AO Arena in Manchester in the main event of Misfits Boxing 22. But he may have to fight for what is a pretty serious injury.
Earlier this month, the former UFC -Titel candidate sat down by telephone with bloody elbow for an exclusive chat. And during the interview he slipped that his hand can still be broken from the Stewart fight.
Darren Till claims that his hand is still broken from Darren Stewart Fight
When Darren fought to his namesake Darren Stewart in May, it seemed that we might be on our way to a new early night while he scored a quick knock -down. But the Brit showed incredible resilience to fight and even turn the fight before a knockdown was saved on the bell.
In the process of landing from a huge barrage from bumps to it succeeded in seriously injuring his hand. And from our interview on 12 August he claimed that the hand was still broken, only a few days away from his fight with Luke Rockhold.
“Luke can't take what drones could take,” he said about the amount of bumps he intends to land this time. “I know this because all my coaches and everyone I have spared through the gym knows how hard I am beating with these gloves.
“They all asked” How did that man take that? “Boulder head. I mean, to be honest, my hand is still broken from the fight.
Luke Rockhold believes he will make drones until he has stopped in Misfits Boxing Showdown
Although Till is a well -known puncher and has its own chin, the conviction is that if it gets difficult, he could choose to get started. At a certain point in his last UFC fight, he dominated the procedure against Dricus du Plessis before he eventually lived, and Rockhold plans to exert a similar pressure in the ring.
“It's the work we have done now and the work I have done,” Rockhold explained to Bloody Elbow. “Darren goes around and says I am old, I am on steroids. I finished on my A – every day.
“I am no longer 30, I am 40 and that means there is no time to waste. I wake up every day, even when I went and had a few beers with the boys and five miles run. I touch the sauna, I will work, to this and that.
“I'm not going to Ibiza on stage Charlie's out of my head as drones. I see you, boy.”
