Darren Till fans jump ship after soft, sluggish ‘Gorilla’ disrobes for Tommy Fury fight — ‘He looks awful’

Jesse Holland is among the longest-tenured media professionals in the combat sports news space, covering MMA, professional wrestling and boxing on a full-time basis since early 2004.

Darren Till looks pretty good ... for a 31 year-old dad at the beach.

For a professional fighter about to throw hands with undefeated pugilist Tommy Fury, he could probably use a couple of extra months inside the gym. As it stands, he’s got roughly eight weeks to prepare for his DAZN pay-per-view (PPV) boxing match.

Clearly there is work to be done.

Combat sports fans were aghast at the soft and sluggish “Gorilla” during a recent media shoot for Misfits Boxing, suggesting Till was flashing “a body built by Taco Bell” while other commenters simply remarked, “he looks awful.”

His Rousey-esque shadowboxing certainly didn’t help his cause.

Till (1-0, 1 KO) made his boxing debut for Social Knockouts 3 in Dubai, a bizarre matchup against Mohammad Mutie that ended with a takedown and in-ring brawl. “The Gorilla” was released from his UFC contract back in early 2023.

Fury remains the odds-on betting favorite.
