Taylor, who has previously been defeated by Fury, will be a tough challenge for Till who returns to competitive action two years after leaving the UFC where he was a welterweight title challenger.

Darren Till asserted: “You’re just s**t. I’m sorry to be disrespectful, but you’re really, really s**t. You fall over your feet, you wing punches. I don’t actually think you realise what you’re getting into with me. So I’m just not even going to talk, I’m just going to beat you. I respect you, and then I’m just going to move on because you’re really s**t. I promise you, you’re s**t.”
While Anthony Taylor counted: “He might have more experience in the cage, but I have more experience in a boxing ring. You can’t expect an MMA fighter, a UFC fighter, to come in and beat somebody who has that boxing experience. Look what happened when Mike Perry came to boxing with Jake Paul. He got embarrassed.”
