Darren Till will have his second Misfits Boxing match before the end of 2025's first quarter.
The one-time UFC title challenger is set to face another former UFC fighter, Darren Stewart, on the undercard of Misfits Boxing 21: KSI vs. Dillon Danis on March 29 at Manchester's AO Arena, Misfits Boxing confirmed on Saturday. KSI vs. Danis and Till vs. Stewart will stream on DAZN pay-per-view worldwide.
Till, 32, made his Misfits Boxing debut in January, also in Manchester, outclassing and stopping Misfits light heavyweight champion Anthony Taylor in the sixth round. The Liverpudlian was originally scheduled to face Tommy Fury on the show, however Fury withdrew from the bout, citing concerns about Till using illegal "MMA tactics."
Till had a 24-fight MMA career with 12 fights in the UFC. "The Gorilla" parted ways with the UFC in March 2023 after suffering three consecutive losses following a move up to middleweight.
Stewart, 34, had 28 fights in MMA, which included 14 UFC appearances. He finished his UFC stint in August 2021 following a knockout defeat at the hands of Dustin Jacoby. Since then, Stewart has fought six times under the Cage Warriors banner, going 4-2.
Stewart announced his retirement from MMA this past August and now debuts in the boxing scene seven months later. "The Dentist" has no prior experience in boxing competition.
