Darren Till is getting a fight in front of his home fans.
Following an initial report from MMANytt.se, MMA Junkie confirmed that the No. 8 ranked former UFC welterweight title challenger will take on No. 7 ranked Jack Hermansson on July 23rd at The O2 Arena in London. This matchup was originally booked for December 2020 before Till withdrew with an injury.
Till (18-4-1) has just one win over his last five fights, a split decision over Kelvin Gastelum in his return to middleweight in 2019. He’s coming off a submission loss to Derek Brunson last August, and preceding that was a close five-round decision defeat to former champion Robert Whittaker.
