Darren Till may have scored a win in his return to combat sports action, but the ultimate result was a disaster inside the ring.
Till took on Moh Mutie in the featured contest of Social Knockout 3 in Dubai, UAE. During the fight, Mutie turned his head, with the former UFC fighter landing a light strike to the back of the head.
While this would normally be considered an illegal strike, Till was declared the winner by TKO after Mutie was left apparently unable to continue, claiming to feel dizzy after the punch.
But the action did not stop there, as the pair got into a brawl following the fight ending, with both teams getting involved.

Till had been originally scheduled to return in a bout with Julio César Chávez Jr. on July 20 at the originally scheduled Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson card before the main event was delayed.
Till had been out of action since losing to Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 282 in December 2022. He exited the UFC last February after requesting his release to pursue other ventures.
Till’s opponent, Mutie, is a Middle Eastern MMA fighter known as “The Palestinian Gorilla” with an MMA record of 2-2-1.
