Darren Till has shed new light on what really happened with the Tommy Fury fight cancellation.
Fury vs. Till was scheduled to take place at Manchester's Co-op live on January 18.
But the showdown was thrown into major doubt after Fury claimed the fight was off, suggesting Till's inability to abide by professional boxing rules as the main reason.
In a post on his Instagram story, he wrote: "I can't believe I'm writing this but I am now not fighting Darren Till on January 18th 2025. For the one simple reason being that Darren has stated over and over that he does not want to abide by professional boxing rules and that if he is loosing [sic] the fight he will resort to kicking and other stupid MMA tactics.
"I am a professional boxer, I have been out of the ring for over a year and I wanted this to be a great BOXING fight for the fans. I have wasted weeks in training camp. We are working hard to get a new opponent and date. I promise to get a better opponent and better fight for you guys. Good news around the corner."

Till, who made his professional boxing debut earlier this year, fired back at Team Fury before calling out Jake Paul.
In another social media post, the former UFC star shed new light as he revealed that John Fury told Misfits Boxing promoters that they were pulling out of the contest due to his threat during the pre-fight press conference last month.

Till said he would use MMA moves against Fury if he was down on the scorecards, but he insists he only made that claim to promote their bout.

He made the new revelation in a social media post as he accused Team Fury of 'bullying' previous opponents.
On X, he wrote: "I have only just found out that my team knew Tommy Fury was pulling out of the fight Sunday and didn’t want to tell me cos they were trying to get John Fury on the phone but he’s not answering calls apparently.
"Tommy you was never ready for that date you crazy sh*thouse don’t ever show ur face again!!!"
