Tommy Fury vs Darren Till fight is cancelled

Darren Till is furious with Tommy Fury

"You are not a man!" fumes Darren Till

Tommy Fury has pulled out of his January fight with Darren Till after the MMA star threatened to kick him in the head during their contest.

Rivals Fury and Till were due to clash in Manchester on January 18, kicking off the fight promotions with a fiery press conference last month during, when Tommy's comical dad, John Fury, threw water at Till, provoking the former UFC title challenger into threatening to start a riot.

Till had earlier said he would resort to kicking Fury in the head during their fight.

So, 'TNT' Tommy Fury has now pulled out of the fight, taking to social media to say: "I can't believe I'm writing this but I am now not fighting Darren Till on January 18. For the one simple reason being that Darren has stated over and over that he does not want to abide by professional boxing rules and that if he is losing the fight he will resort to kicking and other stupid MMA tactics.

"I am a professional boxer, I have been out of the ring for over a year and I wanted this to be a great boxing fight for the fans. I have wasted weeks in training camp. We are working hard to get a new opponent and date. I promise to get a better opponent and better fight for you guys. Good news around the corner."

31-year-old Till from Manchester was quick to respond on social media, "Tommy Fury, you are the biggest s**thouse I have ever met in my life, do not ever call yourself a fighter again. I was selling the fight to make me and you more money you absolute empty head.

"Fighting family, my ass! You and your dad s**ihouses. I don't need to throw kicks, you was getting knocked spark out you divvy.

"We was making bank on this fight, cos of me, not you. I was building it, you should be fighting and should be thanking me... over and out.. no one wants to fight me... Jake Paul what are you up to, you big, fat dummy?"
