Darren Till takes credit for running Tommy Fury and John Fury out of boxing amid reports of split

Darren Till has told fans ‘You’re welcome’ after reports have emerged that John Fury has lost a position within the Tommy Fury team.

The former UFC star was scheduled to go toe-toe-toe with the boxer until the Love Island runner-up pulled out, saying that he wasn’t willing to set foot in the ring with a man that threatened to kick him.

Darren Till believes he’s the reason John Fury won’t have as much involvement with Tommy Fury going forward

On January 18, at the Co-op Live in Manchester, UK, Darren TIll produced a scintillating performance, battering Anthony Taylor en route to a sixth-round finish.

However, Tommy Fury was the man who was originally meant to be trading leather with ‘The Gorilla’, but following their explosive press conference, he withdrew from the contest.

Now, The Mail Online is reporting that John Fury will no longer have as much involvement in his son’s career, with the former heavyweight fighter stepping back from Fury TNT.

The 59-year-old was a director in Tommy’s business, which, in January of 2023, had assets of £361,767. The company lists its nature of business as ‘sports activities’, with the name of the company serving as a reference to the reality star’s punch power.

While John has provided his fair share of entertaining moments outside of the ring, many view him as a hindrance to his sons, with a large portion of the boxing community believing he was to blame for Tyson Fury’s first defeat to Oleksandr Usyk, as well as not giving Tommy a good enough game plan to beat KSI in a more comprehensive manner.

Whether he remains in the boxing prospect’s corner remains to be seen.

Regardless, Till is taking full credit for what’s occurred, tweeting: “One press conference and I’ve ran Tommy & John out of boxing! You’re welcome, guys!”

Is Darren Till really behind the reason John Fury is no longer the director of Tommy Fury’s company?

Last year, Fury publically split with his ex-girlfriend, Molly-Mae Hague, with the pair choosing to go their separate ways.

However, they’ve recently reignited their spark, with the former flames sharing a kiss on New Year’s Eve.

According to The Mail Online, if he wants to win her back, the fighter must adhere to the mother of his child’s demands, which includes focusing on his family life rather than boxing.

It’s unclear whether this has resulted in John Fury making his decision to leave the business.
