Former UFC star Darren Till made headlines after a video surfaced online showing him knocking out a bare-knuckle boxer during a street brawl. The incident took place directly outside The Blarney Stone, an Irish pub located on Renshaw Street in Till’s hometown of Liverpool.
The physical altercation served as the explosive culmination of a bitter, multi-week feud on social media. The other man involved was identified as Lee Browne, a heavyweight bare-knuckle fighter. Browne had spent weeks heavily insulting Till online, repeatedly calling him a coward and publicly accusing "The Gorilla" of ducking a sanctioned fight against him.
When the two fighters unexpectedly crossed paths outside the venue, the verbal dispute rapidly escalated in front of a crowd of onlookers. Video footage captured the 33-year-old Till aggressively cornering the towering 6-foot-5 Browne. Till was heard shouting, "Who’s a shithouse? I’m right here now, and you’re saying nothing," directly into Browne's face.
Immediately following the verbal challenge, Till unleashed a lightning-fast three-punch combination. The clean barrage of strikes connected flush, sending Browne crashing face-first onto the pavement completely unconscious. While Till is currently scheduling his next professional appearance, local authorities have not yet confirmed if any legal charges will stem from the viral street altercation.
