Darren Till has backed Tyson Fury to star in MMA if he carries through on his word to make the crossover.
The lineal heavyweight champion claimed last week he is considering the move, and revealed he has received an offer to train with Conor McGregor.
“You know Tyson’s my boy, he’s proper my boy, we’re under the same management,” Till, who beat Kelvin Gastelum on his return to the Octagon at UFC 244, said at the post-event press conference.
“Any guy who gets in there and tries to strike with Tyson … one of my sparring partners, a heavyweight, said to me Tyson is so good, he’s untouchable.


“But then you have to bring other all these others factors in – takedowns, kicks and stuff. I just believe a little bit of training with me or Conor … you gotta train with me because we’re MTK [Global] for life.”
Fury has already tested the waters outside the boxing ring – albeit in the scripted world of professional wrestling. Last week, he defeated Braun Strowman at WWE’s Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia.

“People wanna say things, he’s in WWE and all that,” Till added. “But he’s massive in America now. He’s making a big name for himself, making money for his family. He’s a clever man.
“You’ve gotta go back to that Deontay Wilder fight. A guy who’s only 15 stone [Wilder], how hard he punches at that weight, and Tyson just gets up from the dead.
“He’d do well. He’d fight Stipe [Miocic], Francis [Ngannou]. My money’s on Tyson, but he definitely needs to know, and I’ll tell him myself, he has to learn certain things. MMA is different from boxing.”
