Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) has signed Combat Sports Superstar Darren Till to a multi-fight promotional contract with his debut set for Saturday, May 30 at BKFC 90 in Birmingham, UK at the Utilita Arena.
“Darren and I have been talking and the timing is perfect for him to make his BKFC debut,” said David Feldman, Founder and President of BKFC. “I’ve watched Darren compete for the last few years and he’s a tremendous and exciting addition to our team.”
“We’re expanding rapidly in the United Kingdom; BKFC 90 is a huge event and the perfect place for Darren to make his BKFC debut.”
Said an elated Darren Till, “I am very pleased to be signing with the BKFC. It’s an amazing promotion! F*** everyone on this roster, I’m coming to be the face of violence. No one can beat me.”
The middleweight fight on May 30th will be against an opponent to be announced.
A native of Liverpool, UK, the 33-year-old Till is a former UFC welterweight title contender and has compiled a professional MMA record of 18-5 with 10 knockouts in addition to three ‘Fight of the Night’ performances in the UFC. On August 30, 2025, Till knocked out former BKFC fighter Luke Rockhold in a professional boxing match. He also holds boxing victories over Darren Stewart and Anthony Taylor.
BKFC 90 is headlined by a previously announced, highly anticipated clash for the BKFC Interim Welterweight World Title between cross-country rivals, popular Connor ‘Brum Town Bomber’ Tierney, (9-2), and Rico ‘Bon Bon’ Franco, (10-3).
