Darren Till has four names he wants to face before hanging his boxing gloves and goes back to the UFC in the pursuit of a world title.
The record of the Scouse Fighter in his last UFC years did not glow, but he always competed around the top of the divisions in the middleweight and welterweight. In his last fight, he had an exciting back and forth fight with Drus Du Plessis, which he demonstrably won before he was submitted in the third.
Now DDP is the seemingly unbeatable champion with victories over Israel Adesanya, Robert Whittaker and Sean Strickland. Until Koos to leave the sport after their fight and now strives for success; Headlining Miskits's newest show in Derby on Friday Night Live on Dazn.

Darren finally got the chance to make his debut in the main event of Misfits's last show in the new co-op live in Manchester in January. However, it was not exactly planning, because his original opponent Tommy Fury withdrew about the fear that he would throw a main kick if he losing the fight.
Instead, he recorded Bellator veteran Anthony Taylor, which he shot in six rounds to guarantee the victory. Now he is heading against the former UFC star Darren Stewart in the main event of Misfits 21, after their initially planned meeting in March at the KSI vs Dillon Danis Undercard was canceled.

After this last adjustment, Till will focus his attention on the big names, and told Bloody Elbow in an exclusive chat that he has four. “I think it comes down to Jake Paul, Tommy Fury, KSI and Mike Perry for me,” he explained.
“I think I would like to fight against Jake and KSI that his big cash fights. I would like to hold the Tommy fight after what he did and I think it would be Mike Perry -Vecht then and I would probably go out, que sera and depending on things in MMA I can try my hand at the PFL or if the UFC wants to show me.”
Darren to suddenly UFC return after Misfits Boksrun
As soon as he has finished his run in the boxing ring, Darren Till is clear that he intends to return to MMA action. He admits that knee problems and a lack of motivation cost him in the last years of his career, but after a long break he seemed to be revived in his knockout victory over Taylor.
“I am not too old in sport, my body is not broken, even though I have clearly had problems with my knees, but I am fresh,” he told Bloody Elbow. “I don't feel that I have some case of that CTE, I pronounce my words well, I have a solid brain for myself, although I know that sometimes I say some crazy things.
“That's just public personality, of course I am a crazy C – but I don't think I have early signs of CTE, or I hope not. So I can go back.”
However, it is not only the UFC that is interested in its services. Till has spoken with the PFL and is open to the possibility of going into their smart cage for an attempt with their bigger names.
“I spoke with the PFL and I love the way they do their organization,” he went on. “I would really be on a bash. It just depends on it if the UFC would have me back afterwards, I don't know. I think I have a few more years in me.”
