Tommy Fury calls fight with Darren Till off over safety concerns
Tommy Fury has called off his fight with Darren Till, citing that the former UFC star will not ‘abide by professional boxing rules.’
The bout was set to take place on Jan. 18 in Manchester but Fury, the younger brother of former heavyweight Tyson, has now said on social media the event is off.
He wrote on Instagram: “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 loosing 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.”
