Darren Till Set for Boxing Showdown with Ex-UFC Fighter Darren Stewart at Misfits Event

Darren Till is wasting no time getting back into the boxing ring, and this time, he’ll be facing another ex-UFC fighter in Darren Stewart.

The latest Misfits Boxing event, set to take place on March 29 at AO Arena in Manchester, England, has officially booked a fight between the two former octagon competitors. The card will stream live on DAZN, featuring Till vs. Stewart as one of the key matchups.

Till, 32, made his Misfits Boxing debut in January, securing a dominant sixth-round TKO victory over Anthony Taylor. The fight marked his second exhibition boxing bout since parting ways with the UFC in late 2022 following a submission loss to Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 282.

His opponent, Stewart, is also a UFC veteran, having fought 14 times in the octagon before his departure from the promotion. The 34-year-old had announced his retirement from combat sports in August, citing financial difficulties. However, he’s now making a return, opting to test himself in the boxing ring.

For Till, this fight represents another opportunity to continue his transition into boxing and build momentum in his new career. Meanwhile, Stewart will be looking to prove that he still has plenty left in the tank, even after stepping away from competition less than a year ago.

The March 29 Misfits Boxing event is headlined by a high-profile clash between KSI and Dillon Danis. With the addition of Till vs. Stewart, the card is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing crossover combat sports events of the year.
