Mike Perry agrees to finally fight Darren Till in boxing showdown and settle seven-year feud

Yesterday at 11:23 AM

Darren Till and Mike Perry are willing to give the fans an epic conclusion to their rivalry.

The pair of MMA fighters have both dipped their toes in the boxing world, with each man willing to forget about the cage and trade leather in the ring.

Since leaving the UFC, the fan favorites have gone on interesting journies, with Perry taking over the world of BKFC, while Till most recently overcame Anthony Taylor at Misfits 20.

Regardless, while they’ve never had the opportunity to go toe-to-toe before, for seven years, their stories have been intertwined, with an eagerly-anticipated grudge match potentially now closer than ever before.

Darren Till and Mike Perry could fight at Misfits 21

On January 18, Darren Till produced a sparkling performance inside the Co-op Live in Manchester, UK, destroying ‘Pretty Boy’ via sixth-round KO.

However, rather than enjoying the celebrations, the Liverpudlian quickly switched his attention to his next opponent, with Till calling out Jorge Masvidal, KSI, Tommy Fury and Mike Perry.

Determined to ride his wave of momentum into Misfits 21, the Englishman followed-up his call-out by tweeting: “Does @PlatinumPerry want to fight 29th March on @MisfitsBoxing?”

With a love of fighting coursing through his veins, the American is never one to back down from a challenge. After all, Perry once flew to Russia and had a brawl with Magomed Ismailov.

Therefore, it comes as no major surprise that the brawler was quick to respond, saying: “Yes, let's Go! 185?”

While Perry seems to be heading in the direction of another fight in BKFC, according to David Feldman, that would first have to be approved by Dana White.

Thus, it could make more sense for the scrapper to settle his beef with Till once and for all. The warriors have had a jovial rivalry over the years, going from challenging each other to fight, to meeting for a sparring session that the Liverpudlian amusingly thought was a trip to the spa.

Regardless, with their all-action styles and trash-talking skills, the strikers would likely gel to deliver not just an entertaining build-up, but an absolute barnburner in the squared circle as well.

How do Darren Till and Mike Perry compare?

While Till and Perry understand the fundamentals of grappling, to their cores, both men are all about utilizing their fists to destroy their opponents.

Each icon is renowned for delivering entertainment regardless of the discipline they are competing in, but how do they compare across the various forms of fighting?

Having initially fallen in love with Muay Thai and kickboxing, Till had a lengthy amateur career, before following the professional MMA route.

On the other hand, Perry started chasing the UFC dream to better himself after coming out of prison.
