Former UFC welterweight contender Darren Till has reacted sharply to missing out on a potential fight with Jake Paul, describing the situation as a "fraudulent show" according to a Morning Report from SB Nation.
The British fighter, who has competed in both the UFC middleweight and welterweight divisions, was reportedly in discussions for a crossover boxing match with the YouTube-turned-boxer Paul. Till's comments suggest the negotiations broke down or he was passed over for another opponent.
Paul, who has built a professional boxing record with wins over former MMA fighters including Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva, and Nate Diaz, has yet to announce his next opponent. Till's criticism adds to ongoing scrutiny around opponent selection in influencer boxing events.
