Darren Till offers new Tommy Fury conspiracy theory and brands him 'waste of space' after Conor McGregor tweet

Darren Till has shared a new conspiracy theory about Tommy Fury and called him a 'waste of space' following his call-out of Conor McGregor.

Till, who made his boxing debut last year, meets Anthony Taylor in Saturday's main-event of Misfits Boxing 20 in Manchester following the withdrawal of Fury.

The 32-year-old had been scheduled to face Fury, who hasn't fought since his controversial victory over KSI in October 2023.

But he pulled out of their bout, with former MMA fighter and Misfits Boxing veteran Taylor replacing him.

To this day, Till hasn't received clarification as to why the 25-year-old boxer backed out but he has his own theory.

"I found out like the rest of everyone via Instagram story. It was quite disappointing," he told SPORTbible. "I think rumours get spread a lot in the boxing community... not saying in a bad light. But I think he might have thought I was just an MMA fighter, which I'm not. I feel like that's the real reason in my mind."

Fury withdrew shortly after Till threatened to head-kick him during their launch press conference.

But the ex-UFC title challenger insists he was never going to resort to MMA moves in the ring.

Asked if he was really going to head-kick Fury, Till replied: "No... never. No. I'm a man of morals and values. I don't need to cheat to win. I was never going to do that."

Fury, who also boasts a victory over Jake Paul, has since thrown his name into the hat to face McGregor amid reports linking the former UFC champion with Logan Paul and KSI.

But Till believes Fury has 'no credibility' to pursue anything in the fight game and believes he has been 'pushed' into fighting by 'Big' John Fury.

"I don't think Tommy has got any credibility to do anything at this point," he explained. "I think he's always liked the idea of being a fighter, but I don't think he actually likes being a fighter. I think he's been pushed into it by his family and his father."

Despite Fury's withdrawal, Till would still be open to fighting him in the future but insists, for now, he's a 'waste of space'.

He said: "If the fight is there and the money is right again in the future... yeah sound. But, for now, he's sort of a waste of space."

Till could be joined by McGregor in the influencer boxing scene, having been linked with a fight against KSI.

But the Liverpool star would be 'severely surprised' if the Irishman fought the Misfits Boxing founder and explained why McGregor has been very clever.

"I think McGregor is very clever. He knows how to keep his name in the headlines because obviously he's not fought for a while," he added. "I think he just teases it. I mean if he does fight KSI, I'd be severely surprised. I think he'd probably do it to take a dig at Jake Paul, but I can't see it happening anytime soon.

"But I don't know the ins and outs of it. Who knows?"
