Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship has scheduled a light heavyweight fight between former UFC competitors Darren Till and Yoel Romero for BKFC 94 on September 26 at the AO Arena in Manchester, England. A launch press conference will take place on August 4 at the same venue.
Till will be fighting in his home country after making his BKFC debut on May 30, 2026. He stopped Aaron Chalmers with a first-round knockout in Birmingham in front of a sold-out crowd.
Romero made his own BKFC debut last September at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida. The Cuban Olympic silver medalist stopped Theo Doukas in the second round of that fight.
“I’ve finally got over my years of trauma and nightmares of Yoel Romero. So, let’s f***ing do this,” Till said in a statement.
Romero responded: “Respect to Darren for accepting the fight. But respect ends when the bell rings. See you soon.”
