“He Will Fall Before My Knees” – Darren Till Trashes Khamzat Chimaev After Recent Comments
Seems like there’s a new feud right around the corner in the form of Darren Till and rising prospect Khamzat Chimaev. Earlier, former welterweight title challenger Darren Till had called out Khamzat Chimaev after the Chechnyan fighter failed to land a big fight post his big win over Gerald Meerschaert this past month. Chimaev is currently riding on a three-fight win-streak, with multiple victories at the middleweight victories.
