In combat sports, fights often fall apart due to various reasons like weight misses, health issues, or political instability. This time, Tommy Fury called off his upcoming fight with former UFC star Darren Till, citing fears of being “kicked” during the boxing matchup. The news quickly went viral, sparking reactions from fans and fighters alike. KSI, never one to stay silent, urged Tyson Fury’s brother to face Till and go through with the fight, encouraging him to push past the fear.
It all started when Darren Till threatened to use his MMA background against Tommy Fury, vowing to kick him in the head if he was losing the fight. Tensions escalated during a press conference when Till’s comments angered Fury’s father, John, who threw water on Till, sparking a chaotic scene. Fury later took to Instagram to announce the fight’s cancellation, citing Till’s refusal to stick to boxing rules. He promised fans a better opponent and a more exciting fight in the near future.
KSI reacted to the news with a playful jab at Tommy Fury, mocking him for being scared of getting kicked in a boxing match. He reassured Fury that Darren Till wouldn’t kick him and advised him to calm down and focus on preparing for his fight in January on KSI’s promotion, Misfits.

Tommy Fury was the A side in this event
Which means he was getting more money and he gets to call the shots over me which is rightfully so
He’s the boxer and he’s the bigger name
So if this is the case he could not fight me and fight someone…
