A reality television star has slammed Tommy Fury for cancelling his January 18, 2025 fight against Darren Till, and has offered to step as a replacement to face the one-time UFC welterweight challenger.
Fury, the younger half-brother of Tyson, the ex-heavyweight champion of the world, pulled out of the bout on the grounds that Till would not follow the rules after he threatened to kick him in a boxing match with boxing rules.
So now there is a vacant spot at the Co-Op Arena in Manchester, England, on January 18 which is where Geordie Shore’s Aaron Chalmers is trying to come in.
Chalmers has a 5-2 Mixed Martial Arts record and has also fought five times in boxing so the 37-year-old knows how to handle himself as he nominates his name for the bout, which is a PPV event on DAZN.
“Tommy Fury has absolutely s**t his pants to fight Darren Till,” Chalmers said in a video online.
“Till’s put it on him and his dad at the press conference and they’ve f**king s**t themselves saying he’s going to head kick him.
“Here it is, I was in negotiations to fight Darren Till in December until Tommy came along and he’s obviously went with the Tommy Fury fight. Tommy has now s**t his pants.
“So I was game to fight Darren in December, January, February, so I will happily step in and take Tommy Fury’s place and fight Darren Till. He can happily throw head kicks at me because he’ll get one straight back. No danger whatsoever, so there you go.
“I haven’t fought in over a year, I’ll happily step in against Darren Till boxing any time. Whether it be January, February, you let me know, because one thing I have got is b****cks and I certainly won’t be pulling out because someone says they’re going to throw a head kick.”
Billy Joe Saunders puts his name into the hat
But a more attractive fight, financially, for the Till camp could be if he takes on Billy Joe Saunders instead, as the former-professional boxer also nominates his name too.
Saunders has victories over Chris Eubank Jr. and John Ryder too before he eventually won the vacant WBO super-middleweight title in 2019, eventually taken from him Canelo Alvarez in 2021.
“If there’s a chance to obviously, I could get in there, me and Darren Till,” Saunders told talkSPORT. “It’s not really proper boxing, Darren is right really in a way, I’ve heard him say it. So it wouldn’t be the real me.
“But listen, if he’s going to lose out on a few quid and there’s someone out there that wants me to step in, then obviously my phone’s there for a conversation to be had.”
