Jake Paul shares brutally honest assessment of Darren Till and ranks former UFC stars he’s defeated
Jake Paul ranked every one of his previous boxing opponents' MMA careers ahead of Darren Till.
In December 2022, Till suffered his third consecutive defeat in the UFC, which led to his request to be released from the promotion. Since then, the Liverpool native has fought once, defeating Mohammad Mutie by second-round TKO in an exhibition boxing match in July.
On Jan. 18, 2025, Till's desire to compete in a highly-watched boxing match will be fulfilled when he headlines Misfit's MF & DAZN X Series 20. The 31-year-old's upcoming opponent is Tommy Fury, who made a name for himself in the crossover scene by defeating KSI and Jake Paul.
Paul has unfinished business with Fury, so he is expected to keep a close eye on his fight with Till. Earlier today, 'The Problem Child' threw shade at the former UFC fighter by saying this on X:
"MMA/UFC career fact check: Silva > Woodley > Diaz > Askren > Perry > Till (got spanked by Tyron)"
Darren Till quickly became a superstar in the UFC with a 5-0-1 run in the promotion, including wins against Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone and Stephen 'Wonderboy' Thompson. However, Till struggled against the top middleweights, losing five of his next six fights before parting ways.
Till's upcoming opponent, Fury, has faced questions and backlash his entire boxing career. The half-brother of heavyweight legend Tyson Fury holds a professional boxing record of 10-0, with his only notable wins being against YouTubers-turned-fighters Jake Paul and KSI.
Will the winner of Tommy Fury vs. Darren Till face Jake Paul in 2025?
Earlier this month, Jake Paul extended his professional boxing record to 11-1 by defeating Mike Tyson in a controversial fight. The 27-year-old's lone loss was a split decision against Tommy Fury in February 2023.
Paul had an argument to deserve the win against Fury, creating an interest in a rematch. As previously mentioned, 'The Problem Child' fired off an insult toward Darren Till, making him and Fury potential opponents.
Paul has continuously claimed his goal is to become a professional boxing world champion. Therefore, only time will tell if he believes a win against Till or Fury puts him closer to his dream.
