Tommy Fury’s return to the boxing ring against Darren Till has been cancelled less than a month after being announced.

Fury, who has not fought since his victory over KSI in October 2023, was set to return to the ring against former UFC fighter Till on 18 January.

In a fiery press conference last month, Till warned he would not hesitate to kick the former Love Island star in the head if he felt he was losing in their boxing contest.

Fury has now announced he is withdrawing from the fight.

‘I can’t believe I’m writing this but I am now not fighting Darren Till on January 18th 2025. 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 losing 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.’
