Darren Till isn\u2019t going to waste his time on Jake Paul.<\/p>\n
On Saturday night, Till picked up his third win of the year, brutally knocking out Luke Rockhold in the main event of Misfits Boxing 22. Not only did Till cement himself as one of the faces of Misfits, but he also claimed the the Misfits bridgerweight title. And he did so with ease.<\/p>\n
\u201cI felt like I could have knocked him out at any point,\u201d Till said at the post-fight press conference. \u201cI wanted to just test things, go to the body, and stuff like that. No disrespect to him, but he felt very stiff in there. To be honest, it was really easy. It was too easy. I can\u2019t lie, it was just so easy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Immediately after his win, Till laid the foundation for a possible matchup with former British boxing champion Carl Froch, hurling insults at him from the ring. It was a somewhat surprising choice for Till, as most assumed \u201cThe Gorilla\u201d would set his sights on the top influencer boxing stars like Jake Paul or KSI. But Till says he\u2019s being realistic about where he\u2019s at right now.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019m getting Jake Paul,\u201d Till said. \u201cI\u2019m being a realist. Jake Paul\u2019s not taking the fight. \u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cSeriously, do you guys think he would take the fight? Because I\u2019ll campaign for it right now if I see you nodding and say yeah. I\u2019ll ask for it, but I just don\u2019t think he\u2019s going to take it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not going to sit here and beg for a fight I\u2019m not going to get. He\u2019s a bigger star on a bigger trajectory. Why am I going to sit here and waste my breath and waste my time? He\u2019s not taking it right now, so I won\u2019t call for it. Andrew Tate won\u2019t take it, Mike Perry, Jorge Masvidal, none of them want to take it. That\u2019s the truth! \u2026 No one wants to fight!\u201d<\/p>\n
Misfits President Mams Taylor assured Till they have plans for him, especially since he\u2019s their new champion. And those plans may, in fact, include Froch, who was ringside for the event. While the promotion has not made an official offer to Froch, they spoke openly about being interested in the matchup, and for Till, that\u2019s the one he\u2019s after next.<\/p>\n
\u201cI try to be a truth-teller all the time: Carl Froch is one of the best British fighters we\u2019ve had in professional boxing,\u201d Till said. \u201cIf you look back at his accolades, I have to be a realest. But he\u2019s talking shit and I\u2019m talking shit, so the fight should get made. But I just feel like the more I\u2019m talking shit, he\u2019s backing off. I\u2019m the bigger guy and he knows I\u2019ve got power. Is he a better boxer than me? Yeah, he is. But I just know with MMA things and stuff like that I can get him out of there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Darren Till isn\u2019t going to waste his time on Jake Paul.
