In his most recent combat sports outing, the Brit took on Darren Stewart in a boxing matchup at MF & DAZN: X Series 21 this May, winning via unanimous decision. The 32-year-old is now set to face former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold in a Misfits bridgerweight title fight on Aug. 30 at the AO Arena in Manchester.

Rockhold issued a strong warning, saying:

''Darren [Till's] tough. He's a tough guy, but he's got a breaking point... I can pressure him. I can hit him. People haven't seen me in the boxing ring. I can move. I can move, and I can hit hard with both hands. I'm nothing like anybody he's faced in recent times...I'm going to go out there, and I'm going to put Darren Till down...and all these little f*cking minions. That's where I'm at. I'd like to set the world straight.''
