Tommy Fury announces he has pulled out of Darren Till fight with explosive statement

Tommy Fury just announced he has pulled out of his fight with Darren Till in an explosive statement.

The pair were set to face off in a professional boxing bout under KSI's Misfits umbrella in the new year in Manchester. However, the former Love Island star confirmed this morning (6 December) that this will no longer be going ahead.

Tension was already pretty fiery between the fighters after Tommy's dad John Fury caused his usual chaos at the press conference recently before it broke out into a brawl.

The boxer has now called off the bout 'for one simple reason' as he says he's 'wasted weeks in training camp' for it.

Tommy wrote on Instagram Stories: "I can't believe l'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 losing 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 had previously faced the star's older brother Tyson in a bit of sparring - and said this is a reason as to why he would beat Fury.

He told Norske Bettingsider: "It's on YouTube. You can see me and him sparring.

"We’re just having a little mess around, but I go for the takedown, and, you know, obviously just take him down easily. So if I can take Tyson down, I can definitely take little John down and Tommy, can’t I?"

He added: "Here’s the thing. I'm a realist. Nobody in that press conference was a threat to me - not John, not Tommy. Because if I want to turn, and I turn, and if someone punches me, I’ll kick them in the face. I will.

"I can get my leg up as quick as a jab. I’ll kick them in the face, take them down, and then they’re in a world of trouble."

Following Fury's announcement today, Till has now released a statement in response on X - and targeted Jake Paul for a fight instead.

He wrote: "Tommy Fury u are the biggest sh**house I have ever met in my life do not ever call yourself a fighter again I was selling the fight to make me and you more money you absolute empty head fighting family my ass you and ur dad sh**houses I don’t need to throw kicks you was getting knocked spark out you divvy we was making bank on this fight cos of me not you I was building it you should be fighting and should be thanking me… over and out… no one wants to fight me… Jake Paul what are you up to you big fat dummy?"
