Darren Till has joined the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC).
The promotion that is co-owned by Conor McGregor announced on Wednesday that the 33-year-old has put pen to paper on a multi-fight deal, with his debut set for late next month.
Although his opponent is yet to be confirmed, Till's first fight will take place on 30th May at BKFC 90 in Birmingham.
'The Gorilla' hasn't fought in MMA since losing out to Dricus de Plessis in Las Vegas almost four years ago but in the mean time has turned his hand at Boxing, fighting four times and registering a victory on each occasion.
Till enjoyed a successful spell fighting under the KSI-backed Misfits Boxing banner but announced this week that, despite being on "really good terms, that they had gone their separate ways.
His last fight came in August 2025 where he defeated mixed martial artist Luke Rockhold after a brutal knockout in the third round of the contest. The Liverpool-born fighter then called out the retired former super-middleweight world champion Carl Froch, but a fight ultimately failed to materialise.
"I am very pleased to be signing with the BKFC," Till said.
"It’s an amazing promotion! F*** everyone on this roster, I’m coming to be the face of violence. No one can beat me.”
BKFC 90 will be headlined by a highly anticipated clash for the BKFC Interim Welterweight World Title between great rivals, Connor Tierney and Rico Franco.
BKFC President and Founder David Feldman said: “Darren and I have been talking and the timing is perfect for him to make his BKFC debut.
“I’ve watched Darren compete for the last few years and he’s a tremendous and exciting addition to our team.”
