Frenemies ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry and Darren Till ran into one another backstage during Saturday’s Misfits Boxing event held at the O2 Arena in Manchester on Saturday.
The rivalry between Mike Perry and Darren Till is not new. After beating Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone at UFC Fight Night 118 in 2017, Till called Perry out to fight. Since then, the two men have been around each other.
This weekend, at the boxing event that saw Logan Paul beat Dillon Danis and Tommy Fury beat KSI, Darren Till and Mike Perry crossed paths. So, they met face to face in a good atmosphere.

“He’s my nemesis,” Darren Till said during the face-off.
A few years ago, Darren Till fought Tyron Woodley for the UFC welterweight title. However, he was submitted in the second round. After a second consecutive defeat against Jorge Masvidal, ‘The Gorilla’ moved up to middleweight.
He earned a split decision victory over Kelvin Gastelum, but then lost his next three fights, prompting him to part ways with the UFC.
Mike Perry joined the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship after leaving the UFC. The American was in Manchester as an official replacement for the fight between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis. After many years, maybe Darren Till and Mike Perry will finally have their fight.
