Jake Paul in talks to fight ex-UFC star Darren Till in boxing return

Most Valuable Promotions co-founder Nakisa Bidarian confirmed that discussions are underway for a potential boxing match between Jake Paul and former UFC fighter Darren Till. Till is among several candidates considered for Paul's return to the ring, though an agreement has not yet been finalized. The fight date remains uncertain, with Bidarian noting the bout could happen either late this year or in early 2027 depending on how quickly negotiations and distribution arrangements conclude.

Paul has not competed since suffering a broken jaw and a sixth-round knockout loss to Anthony Joshua in December 2025, but was recently medically cleared. Meanwhile, Till has competed across multiple promotions since his 2023 UFC release, earning three boxing wins with Misfits and recently defeating Yoel Romero via unanimous decision at BKFC 94.
