Darren Till vs Anthony Taylor LIVE: Date, UK start time, undercard and how to follow as UFC star finds Tommy Fury replacement
Darren Till has found a replacement for Tommy Fury as he prepares to enter the world of boxing against Anthony Taylor this evening.
The former UFC star was set to face Tyson Fury's half-brother, but the fight collapsed with the ex-Love Island contestant concerned that Till wouldn't follow the rules.

This was because, at the pre-fight press conference, Till repeatedly said he would kick Fury in the face.
But despite that, he is still set to make his boxing debut later this month on KSI's Misfits card.
And he will be facing American Taylor, who has competed in six fights.
He has three wins and three defeats, including a defeat to Fury, so it'll be a stern test for Till.

Darren Till vs Anthony Taylor: What has been said?
Taylor called out Till after his win over Anderson Silva's son, Gabriel.
Following that bout, the American said: "Darren Till, I know you watching. Hey, if you see this message, bring it.''
And Till was pretty sharp to respond on social media.
He said: "This is a message to Anthony Taylor. I don't usually do this s***.
"But I've seen you call me out the weekend, well done on your victory, I will fight you anywhere right now, whatever event Misfits wants to put on.
"If you wanna do it in my city and you wanna try knock me out in Liverpool, then we will do it here at any weight, whatever date.
"I will not even train for someone like you. I will knock you flat out.''

However, Till isn't done with UFC.
Speaking to marvelbet369.com, he said: "I relish the thought of coming back to the UFC.
"We'll see, obviously. For now, it's team Misfits, but there's always a path.
"There's always a way back. There's always: when there’s a will there’s a way. Definitely.
"I always said to them: 'Look, if it ever comes back around, I'll always join you if you have me.'

"As I said, they like me. So who knows, in a few years, if that vibe's happening again, we'll see. It's all baby steps, isn't it?
"All the time. We're all just trying to have a go at it."
