Till Vs. Taylor Results, LIVE Stream Updates

Watch former Middleweight title contender, Darren Till, make his boxing debut versus former Bellator fighter and influencer boxing champion, Anthony Taylor.

It’s been a minute, but influencer boxing is back!

The card this afternoon (see it here) has the three-ring circus in full effect. And I do mean that in an exceptionally complimentary way. It has been 25 months since former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Middleweight title challenger, Darren Till, has been in anything even vaguely meaningful in combat sports.

Today, (Sat., Jan. 18, 2025), Till finally returns to fisticuffs against an actual somewhat practiced combatant. Misfits 20 starts at 2 p.m. ET (full details here), with the main event supposedly going down around 5 p.m. ET

Till is the bigger name to the casual fan, but his opponent, Anthony Taylor, that is the known quantity in former mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters-turned boxers. Taylor — currently the Misfits Middleweight champion — started his boxing career roughly with a decision loss to Tommy Fury way back in the undercard of “Paul/Woodley 2.” Since then, he’s managed to improve himself greatly to the point where he’s on a four-fight win streak, including a most recent win over a nice prospect in Gabriel Silva (yes, Anderson’s son).

Till was hoping to make HIS boxing debut against Fury, but after threatening to kick him in the head if he was losing, Fury decided that he wasn’t going to chance shin to chin and bowed out. Much of the sporting Internet viewed that as a bit cowardly, and quite frankly, I’m inclined to agree.

So, no Tommy, no problem.

We’ve got a fun scrap upcoming, and we’ll get to see Till take on someone with way more to offer than the gent who is basically the best guy in your local commercial gym.

This wasn’t the only fight on today’s card that befell a cancelation. In the co-main, Wade Plemons is set to take on Moziah “The Masai Warrior” Pinder in both of their boxing debuts. Plemons’ original opponent was slated to be Harrison “HSTikkyTokky” Sullivan. Astute followers of influencer boxing will remember this YouTuber from Misfits 17, where he scored a first round knockout with a lovely left hook (and a fight in the stands later). You might also have known that Sullivan is on the run from the police and fled the country!

He crashed an expensive car, Jon Jones style, but failed to appear in court and was last seen doing social media posts from Qatar of all places. Anyhow, Pinder is rocking in his stead and we’ve got plenty of enthusiastic punching coming our way.

Round 3: I just put in the comments that if Till’s cardio holds up, he’s got this. Taylor’s relying on his explosiveness to close the size gap and as he slows ever slow slightly each round, his lands grow fewer and fewer. Nice left by Till. Taylor gets a right.

10-9 Plemons

10-9 Plemons

Round 3: Pinder on the front foot briefly, lands a half-hearted right. Loud, thudding right and man, Pinder’s chin is something else. Counter left by Plemons. “Masai Warrior” doing a little better for himself this round as Plemons has slowed down some, but he’s still not landing clean, despite the effort.

Pinder’s tired, too. Clubbing right from Plemons.

10-9 Pinder
