Paul in talks with ex-UFC welterweight Till over boxing return

Darren Till surgiu como possível adversário de Jake Paul, com o cofundador da Most Valuable Promotions, Nakisa Bidarian, confirmando que as conversas para uma luta de boxe estão em andamento.

Till estava entre vários nomes que Paul apontou como potenciais adversários depois de anunciar o retorno ao boxe no início deste mês. Bidarian disse ao The Sun que o ex-peso-meio-médio do UFC é um dos candidatos em consideração, embora nenhum acordo tenha sido fechado.

“Darren Till é definitivamente um dos nomes que o Jake colocou na lista dele”, disse Bidarian. “Ele é definitivamente um dos nomes com quem temos conversado.”

A data do retorno de Paul depende da rapidez com que sua equipe consegue fechar um adversário e organizar a distribuição do evento. “Então, se levarmos mais três, quatro, cinco semanas para resolver isso, não haverá luta este ano. Provavelmente será no início do ano que vem. Se resolvermos nas próximas 24 horas, esperamos ter uma luta ainda neste ano. Mas não consigo dizer hoje se será uma coisa ou outra. Mas estamos fazendo o nosso melhor para concluir”, acrescentou.

Paul não compete desde a derrota por nocaute no sexto round para Anthony Joshua em dezembro de 2025, revés no qual quebrou a mandíbula e passou por cirurgia, seguida de outro procedimento em fevereiro. Bidarian anunciou no início deste mês que Paul havia recebido liberação médica para voltar ao ringue.

Till seguiu competindo fora do UFC desde a sua dispensa em 2023. O nativo de Liverpool venceu três lutas de boxe consecutivas na Misfits, incluindo uma vitória sobre o ex-campeão do UFC Luke Rockhold, antes de assinar um contrato de várias lutas com o Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship em abril. Mais recentemente, derrotou Yoel Romero por decisão unânime no BKFC 94, em setembro.
