When Darren Till enters the ring in Derby on Friday night, he will be the latest in a long line of fighters who have transitioned between MMA and boxing.

The fight, which takes place at Vaillant Live in Derby under KSI’s Misfits Boxing (and will be broadcast live on DAZN), will see Till take on fellow former UFC fighter Darren Stewart. With no grappling, kicks, or an Octagon, the pair are set to face each other under boxing rules.
