“Why am I out at my local garage getting water, and he’s coming out asking me about a mask,” Till said in part of the exchange. “And I said, ‘Mate, I’ve got no proof right now.’ So let me on my way then. Go away! Go away, now! You’re a muppet! Get out of my face! Look how you’ve got me speaking!”
After the incident, Darren Till took to Instagram to share a message in support of wearing masks and explained his side of the story. He says he is exempt from wearing a mask due to a medical condition.

“Even though in my mind I was in the right, I lost my temper with that officer, because he was searching and fishing for something,” Till later added. “He’s obstructing me, obstructing my night. … He was just clutching at straws. He had nothing, because I was doing nothing.”
Darren Till has not fought since he suffered a decision loss to Robert Whittaker in July. He was supposed to face Jack Hermansson in December but was forced out of the fight due to a knee injury.
Till is currently ranked fourth at middleweight and is 1-1 in the division with his lone win over Kelvin Gastelum. The Englishman made the move to 185-pounds after back-to-back stoppage losses to Tyron Woodley for the title and Jorge Masvidal. He does hold notable wins over Stephen Thompson, Donald Cerrone, and Jessin Ayari.
