  • Muay Thai 44-0 (33 KO) · Professional record · Wikipedia states the figure explicitly as 'According to Till, he amassed a kickboxing record of 44 wins and 0 losses with 33 knockouts' - i.e. SELF-REPORTED, sourced to a published feature. No sanctioning-body record corroborates it: muaythairecords.com holds a Darren Till page with a single 2009 bout (vs Mark Skeer, Heywood Civic Centre) and no verified result. Treat 44-0 as the fighter's own claim.
  • Boxing 3-0 (2 KO) · Professional record · Professional boxing under the Misfits Boxing banner, all three in 2025: TKO6 Anthony Taylor (18 Jan 2025, Misfits X Series 20, Co-op Live Manchester), UD8 Darren Stewart (16 May 2025, Misfits 21, Vaillant Live Derby, 77-74/77-74/77-73), KO3 Luke Rockhold (30 Aug 2025, Misfits 22, Manchester Arena). Only the Rockhold bout appears on Wikipedia's BoxRec-style professional table (BoxRec id 925127; boxrec.com returned 403 to direct fetch and could not be read).
  • Boxing 1-0 (1 KO) · Professional record · Bare-knuckle boxing record. Signed a multi-fight BKFC deal announced April 2026; debut 30 May 2026 at BKFC 90 (Birmingham, England), KO of Aaron Chalmers 22 seconds into round 2 after being dropped early.
