Darren Till has proposed a five-fight schedule through 2028, targeting bouts against Carl Froch, Jake Paul, and Tommy Fury.

Darren Till has outlined a five-fight wish-list following his decision victory over Yoel Romero in the Bare-Knuckle Fighting Championship. The Liverpool fighter proposed a timeline that begins with a potential March bout against 49-year-old former super-middleweight champion Carl Froch in either Nottingham or Manchester. Till stated he would travel to Nottingham as early as next week to organize the event but noted he would stop pursuing the matchup if it is not finalized for the first quarter of the year.

The proposed schedule continues with a pursuit of Jake Paul, who recently lost a traditional heavyweight boxing match to Anthony Joshua. Till previously claimed he was near a deal with Paul’s MVP promotion before joining BKFC. Following a potential Paul bout, Till intends to face Tommy Fury or Mike Perry. A previous boxing match between Till and Fury collapsed after a news conference where Till threatened to use illegal kicking techniques.

Till aims to conclude this sequence in 2028 against Lorenzo Hunt, the current BKFC ironweight and light-heavyweight champion. Hunt and Till engaged in a face-to-face confrontation following the latter's recent win over Romero. While Till is actively campaigning for these matchups, Froch previously dismissed the call-outs, citing his status as a Hall of Famer and four-time world champion as reason not to concern himself with the former MMA contender.
