Darren
Till will have a lot of eyes on his professional boxing
debut.

The former
UFC welterweight title challenger will face Julio Cesar Chavez
Jr. on the undercard of the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul
event on July 20. The bout will be contested over six rounds at 190
pounds. Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions announced the pairing
on Wednesday.

Till will be making his first combat sports appearance since
December 2022, when he was submitted in the third round by current
middleweight champion Dricus Du
Plessis at UFC 282. The 31-year-old Liverpool native lost five
of his last six bouts in the Octagon before parting ways with the
promotion in 2023. Till began his UFC tenure as a rising star who
was unbeaten in his first six outings before falling to Tyron
Woodley in a 170-pound title bout in September 2018. That
marked the beginning of a skid that eventually led to his departure
from the UFC.

Chavez Jr. owns a 53-6-1 mark with one non contest in professional
boxing. He hasn’t fought since defeating David Zegarra in December
2021. Chavez Jr. has previous experience against an MMA talent, as
he lost a split decision to former UFC middleweight champ Anderson
Silva in 2021.

Tyson vs. Paul takes place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas
and airs live on Netflix.
