Darren Till has admitted that he is quite a way from a world title fight with Israel Adesanya after losing four of his last five fights.
Before his world title effort against Tyron Woodley, the Brit had never lost in his career, but he has since tasted defeated in all but one of his outings at both welterweight and middleweight. He is now ranked No.8 in the 185lb division, but understands that he needs an impressive run of form to get back to title contention.
He has moved training camps to work with the promotional golden boy Khamzat Chimaev in Sweden, with the pair striking up a close friendship in camp. But it remains to be seen how much of a benefit it will prove to the Scouse fighter, who is currently recovering from injury.
