Darren Till Joins BKFC With May 30 Birmingham Debut

The move positions the former UFC contender for high-profile bare-knuckle bouts in the U.K.

Overview

  • BKFC announced Wednesday that Darren Till signed a multi-fight deal and will debut on May 30 at BKFC 90 at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena.
  • No opponent is set for the debut, and Till is expected to compete at about 185 pounds, according to the promotion.
  • Till left Misfits Boxing earlier this week after a 3-0 run in 2025 that included a knockout of Luke Rockhold to win the bridgerweight title.
  • A long-discussed clash with BKFC standout Mike Perry is possible later, though Perry is booked to face Nate Diaz on May 16, making a Till–Perry opener unlikely.
  • BKFC is deepening its U.K. push, and the promotion’s profile has grown since Conor McGregor’s company took an ownership stake in 2024, with Till’s home-soil debut expected to draw strong interest.
