Darren Till defeated 49-year-old Yoel Romero by unanimous decision at BKFC 94 on Saturday night. On Tuesday, Till publicly challenged former super-middleweight world champion Carl Froch, offering to travel to Nottingham next week to organise a March fight in Nottingham or AO, and said he would stop chasing it if it doesn't happen around then. Till also laid out a wish list after Froch: Jake Paul, then Tommy Fury or Mike Perry, finishing with Lorenzo Hunt in 2028.
Darren Till has followed his win over Yoel Romero at BKFC 94 with a public challenge to former super-middleweight world champion Carl Froch. Till beat the 49-year-old Romero by unanimous decision on Saturday night, then used Tuesday to call for a boxing match in March.
Till said he is willing to travel to Nottingham next week to organise the fight, which he wants staged in Nottingham or at AO. He also set a deadline of sorts, saying he would stop chasing the bout if it does not come together around that timeframe.
The Englishman, 33, is a southpaw who fights out of Astra Fight Team and owns an 18-5-1 record. He stands six feet tall with a 74-inch reach and lands 2.3 significant strikes per minute at 46 percent accuracy. Till's name carries real weight in British combat sports, which is a large part of why he is targeting Froch.
Romero, 13-5, is an American southpaw who trains at American Top Team. Even at 49 he remains a dangerous and durable opponent, averaging 3.44 significant strikes per minute at 49 percent accuracy, along with 1.57 takedowns per 15 minutes. Going the distance with a fighter of that pedigree gives Till a notable result to build on.
Till did not stop at Froch. He laid out a wider wish list that runs through Jake Paul, then Tommy Fury or Mike Perry, and ends with Lorenzo Hunt in 2028.
Perry, 35, is an American with a 14-8 record who fights out of an independent camp. He is an orthodox striker averaging 4.32 significant strikes per minute at 47 percent accuracy.
Why it matters
- Till is pivoting toward high-profile boxing matchups immediately after a BKFC win, rather than waiting on a bare-knuckle rematch or title path.
- A Froch fight would put him opposite a former world champion on home soil, in a venue he has already named.
- The long-range list, stretching to 2028, signals Till is planning a multi-year run of crossover bouts.
- Nothing has been agreed with Froch, so the call-out remains one fighter's stated ambition.
