Tommy Fury set for boxing return after pulling out of Darren Till fight… but why it leaves Jake Paul rematch in doubt
TOMMY FURY is still in line to make a return to the ring with Misfits Boxing – but it could leave a rematch with Jake Paul in doubt.
The 2019 Love Islander was due to fight Darren Till until he pulled out amid threats of being KICKED in the head by the ex-UFC star.
Till, 32, instead faces former MMA fighter-turned boxer Anthony Taylor, 35, at Misfits 20 in Manchester.
But Fury meanwhile could still be contracted to fight next on Misfits – the celebrity-style crossover boxing platform co-founded by KSI.
KSI’s manager Mams Taylor – the co-founder of Misfits – was probed on whether Fury is obligated to box on their platform.
Taylor told The Mirror: “We’re sorting it out. We’re figuring out the best way to make sure everyone has made whole.”
Fury, 25, beat KSI, 31, via controversial decision in October 2023.
But he is yet to return since after withdrawing from his bout against Till – with Taylor remaining optimistic Fury will return with Misfits.
He said: “It looks positive.”
If Fury is to fight on Misfits next, it will rule out a rematch against Paul.

He became the first and so far only to defeat YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul after his February 2023 split-decision win in Saudi Arabia.
The two have remained linked to a rematch ever since – but it would not be on KSI’s Misfits banner.
Paul, 27, most recently defeated Mike Tyson, 58, on points in their widely scrutinised showdown in November.
