DARREN TILL returns to headline Misfits: Ring of Thrones in a battle against former UFC champion Luke Rockhold TONIGHT in Manchester.
Both boxers will go head-to-head in an enthralling contest for the MFB Bridgerweight title – with bad blood threatening to boil over after a brawl at the press conference .
Till, 32, is no stranger to the Misfits ring with the Liverpool born fighter previously defeating Anthony Taylor and Darren Stewart .
“The Gorilla” is favourite for the fight as he looks to make it four wins from four since his effortless transition from MMA to boxing .
Luke Rockhold will be making his much anticipated boxing debut after leaving the UFC in 2023.
The American, 40, famously became the seventh UFC Middleweight champion in UFC history just over a decade ago.
It’s a big ask for Rockhold as he makes the significant adjustment from MMA to boxing against the much younger and in-form Till.
