Darren Till Angry with Bo Nickal rumours
Speaking on a podcast middleweight Bo Nickal said; ” I think he (Khamzat) is over partying. I heard rumours of him and Till doing crazy stuff. Clearly angered by the comments made by Nickal, the Liverpool fighter took to X to address the baseless comments made.
Till wrote; “Why is my name getting dragged through the mud? I haven’t seen Khamzat for a long time & he is devoted to his religion. Please guys don’t speak out of turn and on rumours you don’t know are true or not. Just hype a fight in a different way. We don’t tell lies.”
MMA fans are disappointed and frustrated that Khamzat Chimeav is unable to fight as he is unwell. The rising star has amassed a huge fanbase across the world with his quick finishes. Chimeav hasn’t fought since beating Kamaru Usman back in October. ‘Borz’ who has a strong friendship with Darren Till has seen them become a fan favourite duo with their crazy antics.
