Ex-UFC Standout Darren Till Headlines Rescheduled Misfits Boxing 21 Card Against Darren Stewart

Darren Till will headline Misfits Boxing 21.

Originally, Till was scheduled to co-headline the event in March with KSI vs. Dillon Danis on main event duties. However, KSI was forced to withdraw from the bout due to an illness. As a result, the entire event was postponed. According to a post on the promotion’s official X account, the fight card will officially go down on Friday, May 16, with one glaring omission.

As it turns out, KSI and Dillon Danis will not be rescheduled. Instead, Till will step into the main event spotlight for a scrap with Darren Stewart at Becketwell Live in Derby, England.
