Overview
- Rockhold was knocked out in round three by Darren Till at Misfits Boxing 22 in Manchester in his first professional boxing match.
- He told The Ariel Helwani Show, "I can't be taking shots like that," adding it is "around about that time" to put competition on hold.
- Rockhold posted on Instagram that it is "time to work on my golf swing," signaling a step back without declaring a formal retirement.
- He said he entered underprepared, noting a rib issue and that he sparred only once during camp, which he believes contributed to the result.
- Ringside staff placed an oxygen mask on him after the seventh knockout loss of his career, and he named Dillon Danis as the lone matchup he would consider as Daniel Cormier urged veterans to safeguard their legacy.
