Darren Till Knocks Out Bare-Knuckle Rival Outside Liverpool Pub

Former UFC welterweight title challenger Darren Till knocked out bare-knuckle fighter Lee Browne outside a Liverpool pub this week, the culmination of weeks of trash talk between the two men.

Video circulating on social media shows Till landing a three-punch combination on Browne outside The Blarney Stone, an Irish pub in Liverpool, sending him to the ground. In the footage, Till can be heard asking Browne, "Who's a sh*thouse? I'm right here now," before throwing the punches, per a clip shared by BJ Penn. Till and Browne had been trading insults on social media for weeks, with Browne reportedly calling Till a derogatory term.

What Led To The Street Fight

Browne has fought multiple times in the BKFC ring but has been inactive since July 2025. Till left the UFC after a submission loss to Dricus du Plessis at UFC 282 and has since competed in both professional boxing and bare-knuckle fighting. He made his boxing debut last year, stopping former UFC champion Luke Rockhold in the third round.

Till is scheduled to return to the BKFC ring next month against former UFC middleweight Yoel Romero. Neither Till nor Browne has issued public comment on the incident, and additional details on what sparked the confrontation remain unknown.
