World Sports · 10:29:42 - Wednesday, 4 November 2026

Former UFC welterweight contender Darren Till has criticized the proposed boxing match with Jake Paul, labeling the event a "fraudulent show" after negotiations fell through.

Till, who has been linked to a crossover bout with the YouTube personality turned professional boxer, expressed his frustration on social media, suggesting the promotion lacked legitimacy.

The British fighter's comments come after weeks of speculation about a potential matchup, which ultimately did not materialize. Till did not elaborate on the specific reasons behind the breakdown in talks.

Paul, who has built a boxing career with victories over former MMA fighters, has not yet responded publicly to Till's remarks.
