Darren Till Scores One‑Punch KO in Dramatic BKFC Debut

A quick second‑round knockout has thrust Till into the promotion’s top tier and set BKFC on a fast track to book him against Mike Perry and other big names.

Overview

  • Till recovered from a first‑round knockdown to knock out Aaron Chalmers 22 seconds into round two at BKFC 90 in Birmingham, delivering the decisive blow that ended the light‑heavyweight co‑main.
  • Chalmers landed a clean left that forced a mandatory standing eight count in round one before Till adjusted his boxing and landed a left straight that stopped Chalmers early in round two.
  • In the ring after the win Till said he is 'made for this' and invited every opponent in the promotion, framing the victory as proof he belongs in bare‑knuckle competition.
  • BKFC president David Feldman said the promotion will try to book Till vs. Mike Perry and teased three other major opponent options, while some reports say Perry may be tied to a separate contract that could delay a match.
  • Till arrives with notable combat credentials—he was a UFC welterweight title challenger, then moved to boxing and beat Luke Rockhold in Misfits Boxing—making him a commercially valuable signing BKFC now aims to build major cards around.
