However, Till's actions did not go down too well with fans following him on social media. Fans expressed anger in response to his initial tweet, presumably forcing him to delete his post shortly after it was posted.

Till was previously seen working with Fury, helping him hone his MMA skills. This came shortly after the Mancunian boxer expressed interest in participating in an MMA fight at some point in his career.

The duo trained together in Liverpool. They worked on some basic striking skills as Fury threw knees and elbows at pads held by Till, impressing the Scouser with his raw power and accuracy.

Tyson Fury continues to train in MMA

After his win over Dillian Whyte earlier this year, Tyson Fury expressed great interest in setting up a mixed-rules fight against Francis Ngannou. In preparation for the same, Fury frequently straps on MMA gloves and hones his skills in the more multi-dimesnional combat sport.

In a post shared by Nick Diaz back in May 2022, 'The Gypsy King' was seen working on his grappling skills with the MMA veteran. The duo were also seen working on their striking, pounding a heavy bag with boxing gloves on.

After going back-and-forth on social media, the heavyweight stalwarts set the wheels in motion for an exhibition fight after Tyson Fury welcomed Francis Ngannou inside the ring hot on the heels of his sixth-round KO of Dillian Whyte in April.

The duo discussed the prospect of a hybrid fight in the boxing format using MMA gloves inside the squared circle or the octagon. Although both fighters expressed great interest in making the fight, they are yet to come to an agreement and sign contracts for the same, largely owing to Ngannou's ongoing contract dispute with the UFC.
