Former UFC middleweight contender Darren Till emerged victorious against Darren Stewart via unanimous decision at Misfits Boxing’s #XSeries21 event Saturday night.
The all-British showdown between the two fighters nicknamed “The Gorilla” and “The Dentist” respectively delivered on its promise of entertainment, but it was Till who had the final say in spectacular fashion.
As the clock ticked down in the final round, Till unleashed a devastating right hand that sent Stewart crashing to the canvas, punctuating his performance with an exclamation mark that left spectators in awe.
“Oh my God!” exclaimed the commentator as Stewart hit the deck, capturing the shock that reverberated through the arena.
The perfectly timed punch, which came just before the final bell, served as the highlight of what had been a competitive contest between the two athletes. Till, who had previously competed at the highest levels of the UFC, demonstrated his striking prowess throughout the bout, utilizing his technical boxing skills to outpoint his opponent.
For Till, this victory represents a successful transition to boxing following his departure from the UFC earlier this year. The Liverpool native, known for his charismatic personality and striking ability, showed he still possesses the power and timing that made him a fan favorite in mixed martial arts.
Stewart, despite the last-round knockdown, displayed admirable resilience and skill throughout the contest. His performance earned respect from observers despite coming up short on the judges’ scorecards.
Social media erupted following the dramatic finish, with fans expressing their excitement. One Twitter user, Jacob, simply wrote “Nice punch,” encapsulating the clean technique Till displayed in the decisive moment.
The #XSeries21 event, which featured several compelling matchups, continues to build momentum as a platform for crossover athletes and entertaining contests. Till’s victory will likely open doors for more high-profile boxing opportunities in the future.
With this impressive showing, Till has announced himself as a serious contender in the boxing world, proving that his striking skills translate well across combat sports disciplines.
