Darren Till Books BKFC Debut vs. Aaron Chalmers on May 30 in Birmingham

Till says a lucrative offer drew him to bare-knuckle despite concern about long‑term damage.

Overview

  • Tille, who revealed the matchup Tuesday on The Ariel Helwani Show as BKFC confirmed the event, will face Aaron Chalmers at BKFC 90 on May 30 at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena.
  • Till signed a multi-fight deal reported as three bouts and called the offer “irrefusable,” framing the move as a fresh challenge that excited him.
  • He departs Misfits Boxing at 3-0, highlighted by a knockout of former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold in August 2025.
  • Chalmers is a former Geordie Shore cast member with a 5-2 MMA record who boxed Floyd Mayweather in a 2023 exhibition and is 2-0 in BKFC after wins in 2025.
  • Till has hinted at a short BKFC stint because of the toll of bare-knuckle fighting, while the promotion expands its UK footprint with high-profile backers such as part-owner Conor McGregor.
