KSI has mocked Tommy Fury for pulling out of his fight with Darren Till.
The pair were supposed to meet as the main event of a show staged by KSI’s Misfits Boxing on January 18, however on Friday morning Fury revealed he was cancelling the bout.
Fury and Till met a launch press conference which descended into chaos last month as John Fury, angered by Till’s remarks, threw water over him and sparked a fracas.
Prior to this, Till had threatened to break the rules of their boxing match and KO Fury with a head kick if he was losing in the latter stages.
“I can’t believe I’m writing this but I am now not fighting Darren Till on January 18, 2025,” Fury said in a statement on Instagram.
“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.”
KSI took to Twitter to give his response.
He posted: “Tommy Fury is scared of getting kicked in a boxing match hahaha.
“Darren Till is not gonna kick you mate, relax and prepare for your fight in January on Misfits.”
Till posted an angry reaction of his own as he uploaded a video to Twitter.
He captioned it: “Tommy Fury you are the biggest s***house I have ever met in my life.
“Do not ever call yourself a fighter again.
“I was selling the fight to make me and you more money you absolute empty head.
“Fighting family my a**, you and your dad s***houses.
“I don’t need to throw kicks you was getting knocked spark out you divvy.
“We was making bank on this fight ’cause of me, not you. I was building it, you should be fighting and should be thanking me.”
In the video itself, Till had more to say.
“I’ve just got to the gym now to do my sparring this morning.
“I’ve just been shown that Tommy Fury’s put up a f***ing post saying that he’s not fighting me because I’ve threatened to kick him in the head.
“I said I’d kick him in the head at the press conference as a mental warfare tactic and since then I haven’t said anything else.
“I’ve been hard at work in the gym preparing for this boxing match with him on January 18.
“I said to everyone that Tommy was gonna pull out regardless of anything. I f***ing knew it since the press conference. So now it’s confirmed what I said.
“He’s a s***house, family of s***houses and now Tommy’s not fighting.
“I’ve been hard at work boxing for two years. I haven’t thrown a kick in two years. I threw one kick on a video as a mental warfare tactic.
“Never in a million years would I throw a head kick in a fight that is only boxing rules. I stick to the rules. I’ve always abided by the rules throughout my whole career.
“So now I’ve got to the gym to do my sparring this morning, eight rounds of sparring and Tommy Fury’s pulled out.
“Tommy Fury, you are the biggest s***house I have ever come across. You are not a man.”
