“I’m f-cking coming for you!” Till screamed to Adesanya from his phone.
This was not the only time Till tried to get Adesanya’s attention. He did the same when Adesanya was live on Instagram with popular comedian Andrew Schulz.
Scared of fighting Yoel Romero
Darren Till was scheduled to fight Jared Cannonier at UFC 248 event in March but had to pull out following an ankle injury.
Till was also the replacement opponent for the UFC 248 main event bout as he was bought in after Robert Whittaker pulled out of his scheduled bout against Cannonier a few weeks prior to UFC 248.
When Till pulled out of the fight, fans turned on him and accused him of pulling out of the fight because he was scared. However, the former welterweight title challenger responded jokingly by stating that he fears nobody in the middleweight division except two-time middleweight title challenger Yoel Romero.

Feud with Piers Morgan
The beef with Piers Morgan, who is a British media personality started when Darren Till started commenting on Morgan’s Instagram posts.
Till started taking digs at Piers Morgan just prior to his fight against Jorge Masvidal. Morgan isn’t the one to let insults slide and he started firing back at Till on twitter.

Darren Till and Ben Askren
It goes without saying that for the most part, Darren Till is usually quite easy going on Instagram, however, Twitter is whole another ball game. His feud with Ben Askren last year was one of the funniest beef ever.
It all started when Askren sent out a tweet asking Till in which round was he going to choke him out.
Hey @darrentill2 you think I choke you out in the first or second round?
