Mike Perry names Darren Till among 2-man list of ideal opponents
Acclaimed Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) fighter Mike Perry has expressed his interest in fighting some of the biggest names in combat sports. Among the fighters on his wishlist are former UFC star Nate Diaz, undefeated British boxer Tommy Fury, and fellow UFC free agent Darren Till.
Mike Perry is set to face off against former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold in a highly anticipated 185-pound bout at the upcoming BKFC 41 event on April 29. Despite his focus on this fight, Perry is already on the lookout for his next opponent.
'Platinum' is known for his fearless approach to fighting and his desire to test his skills against the best in the business. He is no stranger to verbal rivalries, and his history with Darren Till is a perfect example of this.
Their past exchanges have made it clear that there is no love lost between the two fighters, and it's no surprise that Perry is keen to take on 'Gorilla' in the future. During a recent interaction with MiddleEasy, the Michigan native remarked:
"Yeah, I mean the the winner of (Jake)Paul- (Tommy)Fury, so Tommy Fury would be nice. And maybe you meant to say the winner of (Jake)Paul- (Nate) Diaz that too I would take the winner. You know Jake kind of in my eyes set himself back to fight me, when he lost to Tommy Fury so I would rather fight the winner."
The 31-year-old combatant added:
"But then again I'm looking completely elsewhere, I thought you were gonna ask me about the Darren till stuff, that fight interests me if he wants to come to Bare knuckle and you know, after the Luke rockhold fight after, I beat Rockhold senseless so you know that's an interesting fight."

The incident occurred during a press conference where the two fighters engaged in a war of words before turning to face the audience. It was at this moment that 'Platinum' dug his finger into his nostril and rubbed it on Rockhold's expensive black and white coat.
