Last Tuesday (21), 'Bare Knuckle FC', the world's largest bare-knuckle boxing organization, wasted no time and officially announced the debut of Darren Till , its latest high-profile signing. The former UFC fighter is already one of the company's main names and will enter the ring on May 30th in Birmingham (ENG). The opponent of the popular 'The Gorilla' will be none other than a reality TV star.

Till will face fellow countryman Aaron Chalmers, who rose to fame on dating shows like 'Geordie Shore' and 'Ex on the Beach' and has over two million followers on Instagram. For comparison, despite being a well-known fighter, the former UFC welterweight (up to 77,1 kg) title challenger has 402 followers on the same social media platform.

In the ring, Till is the clear favorite. After leaving the UFC, the 33-year-old athlete is undefeated in boxing and arrives riding a four-fight win streak to venture into bare-knuckle boxing. Chalmers, 38, is also a striking specialist and, after competing in MMA and traditional boxing, has found his niche in bare-knuckle boxing, winning both of his fights in BKFC.
