Tommy Fury claims Darren Till was in contact with betting companies about using MMA techniques in their now-canceled boxing match
Darren Till and Tommy Fury were scheduled to clash in a boxing match on Jan. 18 in Manchester, England. However, it was confirmed two weeks ago that 'TNT' had pulled out of the fight due to concerns about Till intentionally using illegal techniques during their fight.
Fury's concerns stemmed from the former UFC fighter threatening to throw a head kick in the fight, should he be losing on the scorecards. 'The Gorilla' then continued his shtick by uploading a video of him throwing a head kick in training for the clash with Fury.
But it appeared that Till's antics were too much for the 25-year-old, who withdrew from the matchup.
With his brother, Tyson Fury, facing Oleksandr Usyk in a title rematch on Dec. 21 in Riaydh, Saudi Arabia, the younger pugilist was recently interviewed by The Stomping Ground. During the interview, 'TNT' made some stunning allegations against Till, saying:
"The way he was going about it was so stupid. I was going to let it go at the press conference. I wasn't really interested... But then my manager rang me a few days afterwards and he's like, 'This fella's talking to betting companies about if he's losing the fight he's gonna do this, and if he's losing the fight he's gonna do that.' I then saw his first fight, I hadn't watched it at the time, and that ended in some big brawl and I thought to myself, 'What am I doing?'"
