Darren Till batters Darren Stewart en route to decision win at Misfits Boxing 21, calls out KSI trucc

Darren Till improved to 2-0 as a professional boxer at Misfits Boxing 21 on Friday, but Darren Stewart made him work for it. The two former UFC fighters went toe-to-toe in the boxing ring for eight brutal rounds, as Till tried everything he could to stop the hardheaded Stewart and had to settle for a unanimous decision victory instead.

Till (18-5-1 MMA, 2-0 boxing) initially seemed to be on his way to an easy win after dropping Stewart (16-10, 2 NC MMA, 0-1 boxing) with a clean left hand early in the opening round. But Stewart was soon back on his feet and back on the offensive, pressuring Till against the ropes in a fight that soon became a war of attrition.

Stewart's best moments came when he could back Till into the ropes and go to work in close. He bloodied Till's nose midway through the fight, and seemed like he might be clawing his way back into it through toughness alone.

But a sharp left hand from Till nearly put Stewart through the ropes just before the final bell, earning Till a second knockdown and sealing the win on the scorecards. Stewart would make it back to his feet to avoid being counted out, but that final blow erased all doubt as to Till's supremacy on the night.

Till and Stewart were initially scheduled to face off at a Misfits Boxing event on March 29 at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, but the show was canceled one week prior to fight night after headliner KSI dropped out of a main-event grudge match against Dillon Danis.

Till made his professional boxing debut in January with a sixth-round stoppage of Anthony Taylor under the Misfits Boxing umbrella. Prior to that, he scored a second-round stoppage win over Mohammad Mutie in a July 2024 exhibition that ended in a chaotic brawl. Till went 1-5 over his final six Octagon appearances before requesting his release from the promotion in 2023.

After the fight, Till called out rapper and influencer and occasional boxer KSI, lamenting the lack of opponents willing to face him. He also credited Stewart's toughness, requesting that someone cut open the man's head to find out what it's made of, since no ordinary human skull could take such punishment and still keep coming.

In the Misfits Boxing 21 co-main event, Ty Mitchell handed Idris Virgo his first professional loss, claiming the Misfits Boxing professional light heavyweight title in the process.

The distinction of least professional fight on the card certainly belonged to Wakey Wines and Mo Deen, two untrained men who managed to go the distance in a boxing match without ever coming close to hurting one another.

In a surprisingly fun yet bizarre heavyweight attraction, Tempo Arts emerged as the winner of a four-man heavyweight "survivor" match. The bout allowed fighters to tag out mid-round, with fighters being eliminated as the fight wore on, using a mathematical process that seemed as confusing to the event organizers as it was to the fans.
