Darren Till recently made his boxing debut in an exhibition match that ended in unusual circumstances. The fight concluded abruptly after Till landed a punch to the back of Mohammad Mutie’s head, prompting officials to halt the bout.
Following the stoppage, chaos erupted as Mutie charged Till, leading to a brief brawl that required intervention from cornermen and event officials. Despite the chaotic end, Till was declared the winner of the exhibition.
Taking to Instagram after the match, Till expressed mixed feelings about his debut, acknowledging the unconventional ending but thanking his supporters. This marked Till’s first competitive appearance since his departure from the UFC in early 2023, signaling a shift towards boxing in his career trajectory.
Looking ahead, Till hinted at potential future matchups, including a possible bout against Nate Diaz, who recently secured a victory over Jorge Masvidal in Anaheim. Diaz, also contemplating his next steps in boxing, mentioned Jake Paul as a potential opponent but remains open to other opportunities in the sport.
Both Till and Diaz’s futures in boxing remain uncertain but promising, as they navigate their respective paths in this new competitive arena.
