Till has pointed to a sparring session with Tyson Fury as evidence that he should not be underestimated. In the clip from 2019, Till is seen successfully taking down the former WBC champion in the octagon, a moment he has been vocal about leading up to his fight with Tommy.
Till's Confident Words
In an interview with Norske Bettingsider, Till expressed his confidence, stating, "If I can take Tyson down, I can definitely take little John down and Tommy, can't I?"
