Dillon Danis appears to have gotten one over on Darren Till as he mocked the former UFC star for appearing on his undercard.
Both men have been confirmed for the main and co-main events of Misfits Boxing’s next big pay-per-view event on March 29 in Manchester’s AO Arena. Danis takes on YouTube star KSI in the main event, while Till faces fellow UFC veteran Darren Stewart in the co-main.
Despite the fact that he must focus on KSI, the New Yorker has had a number of ongoing feuds dating back to his MMA career. One of the men he would frequently banter with is Till, who at one stage fought for UFC gold before leaving to pursue boxing.

Dillon Danis mocks Darren Till over Misfits Boxing spot
After the announcement of the Misfits 21 full card on Sunday night, Dillon Danis reignited his feud with Darren Till with a cheeky comment on Instagram. He joked that after a star-studded world championship contender career in the UFC, he is now on a Danis undercard.
The cheeky former Bellator star shared a photo of Till after one of his UFC losses on his Instagram story with the caption: “From UFC title challenger to my undercard.” He also shared a crying emoji to indicate how sad the moment is.
Till hit back at Danis with a jibe of his own, simply quoting the first part of the joke indicating that he at least has fought in the UFC before. The jiu-jitsu black belt is a renowned grappler and a famed training partner of Conor McGregor, but has never fought under MMA’s top banner.
KSI vs Dillon Danis undercard revealed to feature Tyson Fury’s brother and more
There is plenty of intrigue behind the Misfits Boxing pay-per-view card after the promotion released their entire undercard on Sunday evening. MMA interest comes in the form of Danis and Till, but there are also some major boxing families involved on the night.
Harley Benn, the son of British boxing icon Nigel Benn, takes on veteran professional Joseph Laws in one undercard bout. And perhaps the more exciting name of Roman Fury, brother to heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and influencer conqueror Tommy Fury, takes on controversial Netflix star Chase DeMoor.
Elsewhere on the card, top amateur prospect Amir ‘Cashman’ Anderson continues his professional career under the Misfits banner. And YouTuber Fox The G takes a major step up to face Walid Sharks in a lightweight showdown.
Danis, KSI, Till and Stewart will all come head to head at a launch press conference on March 4 to formally begin promotion for the card. And Bloody Elbow understands that there may even be further fights to come as the days move closer to fight week.
