Darren Till and Darren Stewart to Headline Misfits Boxing 21

MMA news

The boxing match featuring former UFC fighters Darren Till and Darren Stewart has been rescheduled to headline Misfits Boxing 21 on May 16 in Derby, England.

Originally planned as the co-main event for a Misfits card headlined by KSI versus Dillon Danis, the fight was called off due to KSI`s illness. While the KSI fight`s future is uncertain, Till and Stewart are still set to face off, now as the main event on May 16.

This marks Till`s third boxing match since leaving the UFC, where he once competed for the welterweight title. In his last boxing appearance, he secured his first professional victory by stopping Anthony Taylor in the sixth round.

Stewart, on the other hand, will be making his professional boxing debut after a career in MMA dating back to 2014, including 14 UFC fights. His most recent MMA fight was a TKO loss to Carlos Pereira at a Cage Warriors event in 2024.

The Till vs. Stewart fight joins an increasingly exciting Misfits Boxing card on May 16, which includes several well-known social media personalities and a light heavyweight title fight between Idris Virgo and Ty Mitchell.

The event will be broadcast on DAZN.
