Darren Till and Yoel Romero headline BKFC 94 in Manchester

Former UFC fighters Darren Till and Yoel Romero are set to headline BKFC 94 this Saturday at the AO Arena in Manchester, England. The bare-knuckle cruiserweight bout follows a series of intense face-offs, including a viral four-minute staredown where Till refused to yield contact.

Till, who is 1-0 in BKFC, has expressed respect for the 49-year-old Romero, describing him as a “scary guy” and a “beast” despite his age. Till characterized the upcoming match as a “gladiator” style encounter and a test of pure violence. Romero has indicated that the period of verbal confrontation is over as he prepares for the fight.

The event, which will be broadcast globally on DAZN, also features a middleweight title defense by David Mundell against Jack Cullen, and a UK middleweight title fight between Gaz Corran and Mac Bygraves. BKFC founder David Feldman has teased a major announcement to be made during the event.
