A late rules change after a volatile face-off underscores the spectacle-first build-up to Saturday’s DAZN card in Manchester.

Overview

  • After a heated press conference where security intervened, Darren Till and Luke Rockhold publicly agreed to expand their bout from six to eight rounds.
  • The fight is scheduled for Aug. 30 at Manchester’s AO Arena on DAZN and is billed for Misfits’ inaugural bridgerweight title.
  • Till enters 3-0 as a boxer with two Misfits wins this year, while Rockhold makes his debut in gloved professional boxing.
  • Till accused Rockhold of PED use during the build-up, a claim Rockhold denied, as Michael Bisping predicted a Till knockout.
  • The card retains Tony Ferguson vs. Salt Papi and Dillon DanisMMA return, and Till has floated an unconfirmed December bout with Andrew Tate.
