Former UFC star Darren Till has come out on top in his first professional boxing bout, defeating Anthony Taylor via knockout in the main event of Misfits Boxing 20 in Manchester, England.
After thoroughly dominating Taylor for five rounds, coming in with a notable advantage in height and reach, “The Gorilla” put his fellow MMA veteran down with a power combination in the sixth.

Till was originally booked to face Tommy Fury in this fight but “TNT” withdrew from the bout after the Liverpudlian claimed he’d use “MMA tactics” if he fell behind on the scorecards.
“The Gorilla” previously competed in an exhibition boxing match back in July 2024, scoring a bizarre TKO over Mohammad Mutie, with a brief brawl coming after the fight.
Till, a former UFC welterweight title challenger, went 18-5-1 in his 10-year MMA tenure, which ended with a loss to current middleweight kingpin Dricus du Plessis at UFC 282 in December 2022.
If there exists a list of the weirdest staredowns in combat sports, Darren Till’s recent faceoff would definitely make the top five. Till is poised to lock horns with renowned influencer boxer Anthony Taylor in an eight-round heavyweight showdown, headlining Misfits X Series 20 on Jan. 18 at Co-op Live in Manchester, England.

Ahead of their showdown this weekend, Till and Taylor came together at the pre-fight press conference on Thursday. After a relatively tame exchange on the mic, the two boxers engaged in one of the most bizarre staredowns in recent memory.
Taylor made every effort to spice up the faceoff with some quirky banter during the close encounter, but “The Gorilla” remained largely unfazed. At one point, Till even walked off the stage, leaving everyone puzzled, only to return moments later.
“I’m about to make easy work of you,” Taylor said. “Yeah, I’m about to get them veneers redone for you. I want you to say something. You think you big and bad because you trained with pro boxers. Your whole team is sh*t.”

Till was originally slated to face Tommy Fury at the same event but “TNT” withdrew from the bout, citing concerns over the playful threat of being kicked by the former UFC welterweight title challenger — a warning Till jokingly issued during the promotional press conference.
“The Gorilla” has been relatively inactive since parting ways with the UFC, where he endured a challenging 1-5 record in his final six bouts. However, he returned to action in a boxing match at Social Knockouts 3 in July 2024, earning a bizarre TKO victory over Mohammad Mutie.
Tyson Fury has announced via a video on social media that he is retiring from boxing after 37-pro fights. “The Gypsy King” is currently coming off of back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk having come into their first encounter with an unbeaten record of 34-0-1. The 36-year old has achieved some incredible things in his career. […]
Tyson Fury has announced via a video on social media that he is retiring from boxing after 37-pro fights. “The Gypsy King” is currently coming off of back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk having come into their first encounter with an unbeaten record of 34-0-1.
The 36-year old has achieved some incredible things in his career. From his stunning win over Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 to become the unified champion to the incredible comeback story that led to his three iconic fights with Deontay Wilder, Fury was considered the best of his generation for some time.
Having only ever lost to a fellow modern-day great in Usyk, there are still some interesting fights out there for Fury including the long awaited clash with fellow Brit Anthony Joshua which appeared to be more likely than ever of happening. However, if his statement is to be believed, this is the end of the road for one of the heavyweight division’s best.
Fury references famous highwayman robber Dick Turpin in his video, potentially in reference to his decision loss to Usyk last month which he heavily debated at the time.
“Hi everybody, I’m going to make this short and sweet. I’d like to announce my retirement from boxing, it’s been a blast. I’ve loved every single minute of it and I’m gonna end with this, Dick Turpin wore a mask. God bless everybody, see you on the other side. Getup!”

As is often the case in combat sports, especially with a personality like Fury who often says things to elicit a reaction or to use it as a bargaining chip, the fans aren’t entirely convinced that this is the last we will see of him. Reactions on social media do not seem to suggest that this is the final chapter.
“He’ll back in a few months once he’s offered 250 million to fight Anthony Joshua.”
“Negotiation Tactic”
“Until the next comeback announcement!”
Until the next comeback announcement!

British influencer, model, and boxer Elle Brooke recently reflected on her favorite moment in her boxing career, highlighting the knockdown of UFC veteran Paige VanZant during their 2024 fight. The bout, part of the Misfits Boxing 15 event in Houston, Texas, was a highly anticipated matchup.
Elle Brooke, the reigning Misfits Boxing women’s middleweight champion, and UFC star Paige VanZant who was making her professional boxing debut. The first-round knockdown occurred when Brooke landed a powerful right hand that sent VanZant to the canvas. This moment not only completely changed the momentum in Elle Brooke’s favor. It also became a defining highlight of her career.
On her Instagram story, Elle Brooke was asked what her favorite moment in boxing was. The boxer and model expressed a mix of surprise and pride, saying:
“[Paige VanZant] knockdown, cause I’m like, “Oh S*, I F*ing did that.” I was like, surprised myself. I think when it happens, I’m like, “Wow.” Like, sometimes I don’t even look happy cause I’m so in the moment. I was just like, “Oh s*, I did that. I did that. I did that.” I came running to the corner, wait, wait for the count.“
Despite the knockdown, Paige VanZant showcased stability throughout the five-round fight. The closely contested match ended in a split draw, with judges scoring it 48-46 for each fighter and 47-47. While Brooke retained her title due to the draw, both fighters expressed interest in a potential rematch.
Elle Brooke’s knockdown of Paige VanZant was particularly noteworthy given VanZant’s extensive combat sports background, including dozens of MMA bouts and bare-knuckle boxing experience.
Since entering the sport in 2022, Elle Brooke has balanced her career as a social media model with her passion for boxing. She has trained alongside professionals like world champion Ebanie Bridges. She is a highly popular figure who is celebrating her knockdown against UFC vet Paige VanZant.
