Darren Till has announced that he will be changing disciplines as he makes the switch from MMA to boxing after being released from the UFC roster.
Till, 30, last fought in the UFC franchise in December 2022, with the the one-time UFC welterweight title challenger losing via submission to Dricus du Plessis. This was part of five defeats in his past six fights having been undefeated in his professional MMA career until his Championship defeat to Tyron Woodley in 2018.
The change in fortunes appears to have precipitated the move into boxing, which was announced over the weekend, with a statement from Till in addition to a video on social media. The statement read: "I'm grateful for the opportunities and experiences I've had in the UFC, but it's time for a new challenge. Boxing has always been a passion of mine, and I'm confident that with the support of my team, I'll achieve great things in this sport."
