Fan sends Darren Till $5,000 to knock out KSI after Wayne Bridge fight falls through

Darren Till vs. KSI is one of the biggest fights that can be made in influencer boxing.
Till impressed the general audience with a dominant stoppage over Anthony Taylor at Misfits Boxing on January 18. Taylor had been terrorizing the influencer scene, handing defeats to some top stars like King Kenny and Gabriel Silva, the latter of whom is Anderson Silva’s son.
On the other hand, many believe KSI to have been resting on his laurels after his close decision loss to Tommy Fury in 2023, preceded by a controversial forearm knockout over retired boxer Joe Fournier.
Fan donates Darren Till $5,000 to knock out influencer KSI
KSI made headlines for his ugly callout of retired 44-year-old footballer Wayne Bridge during the MF & DAZN X Series 20 event, which forced Bridge to withdraw. Bridge cited KSI’s comments on his family as “deeply personal” and reason enough to reconsider, something Till would later agree with.
In the meantime, a mystery fan going by the pseudonym ‘Iron Whale’ has donated $5,000 to Till for ‘The Gorilla’ to end KSI-mania, taking a jab at KSI’s music in the process.
“Iron Whale sent you a $5,150 tip!” Read a Fanvue screenshot shared by Till on January 23. “I can’t stand KSI,” Whale wrote. “His ego is almost as ridiculous as his commentary skills/music, please KO him for me.”
Darren Till blasts ‘scumbag’ KSI, comments on Wayne Bridge pullout
Speaking to Idea Farm, Till put KSI on blast for “showing the type of man he is” with the Bridge comments.
“KSI just showed he’s the biggest fraud in boxing,” Till said. “I’m sat in the same room as him and he calls out a retired footy player. It just shows the type of man he is. He will not challenge himself and that’s why he will never be a real fighter. It’s honestly that simple.”
Till took umbrage with KSI targeting Wayne’s family in his callout.
“[…] He showed his scumbag character and brought family, wives, kids into it with Wayne. . . and now everyone knows who he is. . . . Now they all want to see me knock him spark out. . . . The world is watching now. KSI can fight me and prove us all wrong or accept he will never be a real fighter.”
With Till seemingly snubbing a fight with Tommy Fury, KSI might be the next big fight. A rumored clash between Till and Jake Paul is possible if not.
