Darren Till will make his highly-anticipated bare-knuckle boxing debut against former reality TV star Aaron Chalmers this evening at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham. The former UFC welterweight title challenger parted ways with the UFC three years ago and has since established himself in Misfits Boxing, winning the inaugural MFB bridgerweight title against Luke Rockhold.
The main card of BKFC 90 begins at 7pm UK time, with the co-main event between Chalmers and Till expected around 9pm. Chalmers will enter the ring first, followed by Till, with the fight likely to start shortly after. The event can be watched live on BKFC Plus, the promotion's subscription service.
Till, 33, expressed confidence ahead of the fight, stating: 'I’ve said to everyone it would go really well but it could go badly. Who knows? I just know I’m in my prime years. I’m fit and strong. I’m in prime physical condition, especially with the team I have acquired around me. Confidence levels are really high.'
Chalmers, 39, previously fought Floyd Mayweather Jr in an exhibition match three years ago and brings experience from his reality TV background. The fight marks a new chapter for Till as he transitions to bare-knuckle boxing under BKFC.
