Mike Perry has seemingly agreed to settle his long-running feud with Darren Till in a future boxing match between the two. For many years now, there’s been talk of a fight between Mike Perry and Darren Till. This feud runs all the way back to 2017 and perhaps even beyond, when both men were initially on the rise in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Since then, of course, they’ve both gone in very different directions. In the present day, Till is coming off the back of a Misfits Boxing win, whereas Perry is one of the faces of bare-knuckle boxing with BKFC.

Robbie Lawler vs. Mike Perry might go down in the BKFC ring later this year. ‘Platinum’ remains arguably the biggest star in the bare-knuckle fighting league. He was last seen in BKFC in April, scoring an impressive first-round knockout win over Thiago Alves. That victory earned him an opportunity to face Jake Paul in the boxing ring in July, where Mike Perry was handed a sixth-round stoppage loss.
