Background
In July 2024, mixed martial artist Darren Till had an exhibition bout against Mohammad Mutie on Social Knockout 3 and proceeded to call out call out Mike Perry, Jake Paul, and Tommy Fury to a bout.[8] On 25 October, it was reported that Fury withdrew weeks prior from filming "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!" in Australia after receiving an offer that was more lucrative, which was reported to be the KSI rematch from their bout on X Series 10 – The Prime Card.[9] On 12 November, Fury revealed he was eyeing a return to the ring for either February or March 2025.[10] On 17 November, Misfits Boxing announced that Fury would take on Till at the Co-op Live in Manchester on 18 January 2025.[6]
The launch press conference was held on 19 November in London. After back and forth arguments between Fury, Till, and KSI, Fury's father John Fury, threw water at Till and nearly causing a brawl.[11]
However, on 6 December, Fury announced that he had withdrawn from the bout due to Till at the press conference stating he would resort to "MMA tactics" if he was losing the fight.[7] Till responded claiming that he would never break the rules of professional boxing, and that he only mentioned this resort as a mental tactic. Till confirmed that he would remain as the headliner for the bout, with an opponent to be announced shortly after.[12] On 29 December, Till's new opponent was announced to be American mixed martial artist Anthony Taylor.[5]
Originally, the co-feature bout was scheduled to be English influencer HSTikkyTokky vs American YouTuber and sports commentator Wade Plemons after the pair faced off at X Series 19 – Qatar: The Supercard.[13] However, HSTikkyTokky withdrew due to an ongoing court case in which an arrest warrant by the Surrey Police was issued while the influencer was in Qatar,[14] and was replaced by Kenyan reality television personality Masai Warrior (an opponent HSTikkyTokky was also originally scheduled to face on X Series 19).[15]
