Darren Till would not apologise to John Fury for $10 million: 'get your son to fight me'

Till said an unnamed person asked through his manager whether he would ring Fury and say sorry so a Tommy Fury fight could be made. He said his manager already knew the answer.

Darren Till says he was asked through his manager about two or three weeks ago whether he would ring John Fury and apologise so that a fight with Tommy Fury could be made, and that he would not do it even for $10 million.

Till told The Ariel Helwani Show he would not name the person behind the request. "He was just laughing when he was telling me," he said of his manager, giving the question as: "Would you, Darren, ring John Fury and apologize and we can maybe make the Tommy fight?" He said his manager told the person "to go and f*** themselves".

"Even if they said, now we're gonna make the Tommy Fury fight happen, you're getting $10 million, but you need to ring John Fury and apologize. What am I ringing him for and apologizing, mate?" Till said. He gave the $10 million as an example and did not say any money had been offered.

Till has one fight left on the three-bout deal he signed with BKFC this year. BKFC president David Feldman has said he was hoping to bring Tommy Fury into the sport for that bout, and that Tommy Fury's family has problems with Till. "Money talks in this business," Feldman said.

Till also addressed John Fury directly. "I'm sorry that you're just a fat f***ing mess, you little f***ing ... fat goblin, and your son's a s***house ... I'd never ever say sorry to you, ever, for no amount of money. So get your son to fight me, you f***ing s***house," he said.

"This is fighting, mate. Let's not f***ing get it twisted out here. We're gonna say things that aren't nice to each other, you know," Till said. He said he wishes other fighters "health and happiness" on a personal level, and that "when it's all said and done, it's respect".

In the same interview, Till said BKFC's talks over a show at Anfield were "way more serious" than he considered, and that he had been two weeks into camp for Jake Paul when Cedric Doumbe was announced as Paul's opponent.
