In a post uploaded to X - formerly known as - he wrote: "John Fury has rang a member of my team & informed us that he will only let Tommy fight me if I send a public apology to them. So I will say, I am sorry little John… Sorry that you’ve got a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp."

As of yet, the Fury camp are yet to respond to Till's comments online. Prior to Tommy's withdrawal, the pair went face-to-face at a launch press conference in November. While the two boxing stars were fairly civil at the start, things started to get out of hand when Till revealed he'd kick his rival in the head.

“At the end of the day, I can’t beat you, I’ll just kick you in the face in there,” Till said. “How about that? I’m a proper fighter, not a boxer. I don’t walk in a room like this and see boxing and go, ‘s***.’ I walk in, no one here is a threat to me. Not one person in this room, security, you, your dad are not a threat to me. I’m an MMA fighter, so if I want to kick you or elbow you in the face, I will, and no one can do anything about it.”

Following Till's display in Manchester, the Liverpudlian is looking to remain active and has even stated he's willing to take on KSI in March after Wayne Bridge after KSI .

In a statement, Bridge said: "I'm sure a lot of you have seen what happened on Saturday night at the Misfits Boxing event. Firstly, I think it's important that I explain my reason for accepting the fight. I always like to challenge myself. This felt like a good opportunity to go up against an interesting opponent on a big stage.

"I have always loved boxing as part of my everyday training routine. I was fully prepared to train hard and have some fun. Of course, I expected to face some criticism, but I feel like what was said on Saturday crossed a line. These are deeply personal comments that affect mine and other families involved in the situation. I'm a family man first and my priority is protecting them.

"My opponent is someone that many children look up to around the , including my kids. I hope one day he will look back on this differently. I personally don't want to be involved in these exchanges. I will no longer be fighting on March 29. I'm still looking out for my next big challenge and have some exciting things coming up in 2025."
