Darren Till earned 49-46 scores from all three judges to defeat Yoel Romero in a cruiserweight headliner at the AO Arena.

Darren Till defeated Yoel Romero via unanimous decision in the cruiserweight main event of BKFC 94 on Saturday. All three judges at the AO Arena in Manchester, England, scored the bout 49-46 in favor of the 33-year-old Liverpool native. The victory moves Till to a 2-0 record in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, while the 49-year-old Romero dropped to 1-1 within the promotion.

Following the five-round contest, Till confronted BKFC iron weight champion Lorenzo Hunt in the ring. Hunt, a 44-year-old fighter from Ohio with a 12-2 record, is a potential future opponent for Till, alongside Tommy Fury. This victory follows Till's promotional debut in May, where he secured a second-round knockout against Aaron Chalmers.

In the co-main event, Jack Cullen captured the BKFC middleweight championship by defeating David Mundell. The Bolton-based former professional boxer won a split decision after the bout went to a sixth deciding round. Two judges scored the contest 58-55 and 57-56 for Cullen, while the third official saw it 57-56 for Mundell.
