MANCHESTER, UK  — Combat sports superstars Darren “The Gorilla” Till and Yoel “The Soldier of God” Romero collided in the main event of BKFC 94 on Saturday night, with Till reigning supreme before a capacity crowd of 15,894 fans at the AO Arena in Manchester.
Following five rounds of intense action between the former UFC title contenders, all three judges handed down identical 49-46 scorecards in favor of the Liverpool, England product. With the victory, Till improves to 2-0 inside the BKFC Squared Circle, while Romero—a former Olympic silver medalist—drops to 1-1 under the BKFC banner.
During his post-fight interview, Till immediately issued callouts to boxing star Tommy Fury and BKFC King of Violence “Platinum” Mike Perry, before engaging in a tense, ring-center faceoff with BKFC Ironweight World Champion Lorenzo "The Juggernaut" Hunt.
Till on Tommy Fury: “Let’s get it on. I’m not going to chase you. If you want to get it on, I’m here with BKFC.”
Till on Mike Perry: “I’ve called him out for years. Like I said, I’m not scared of anyone.”
Till on Lorenzo Hunt: "If you come to me, Lorenzo, you'll get slept!"
Saturday night’s card streamed live worldwide on DAZN.

Cullen Dethrones Mundell in Overtime Co-Main Event

In the BKFC 94 co-main event, Bolton's own Jack “Little Lever's Meat Clever” Cullen dethroned BKFC Middleweight World Champion David “The Redneck” Mundell in a razor-thin, six-round classic.
Mundell entered seeking his fifth successful world title defense, but Cullen pushed the champ to a dead-heat draw after five frames. Moving to a sudden-death sixth round, two judges scored the fight for Cullen (58-55, 57-56) while one scored it for Mundell (57-56). Cullen remains undefeated through three bare-knuckle appearances, while Florida’s Mundell falls to 10-3.
Undefeated BKFC star Johnny “Cannoli” Garbarino crashed the ring post-fight to challenge the new champion:
“I love this city. Beautiful city, beautiful people. But Philadelphia is the best city in the world, and I’m here to take it from your boy.”
Cullen offered a succinct response:
“Show me where the money is and I’ll (expletive) go anywhere!”

Main Card Highlights & Title Bouts

  • Inaugural U.K. Middleweight Title: Darwen’s Gaz “The Crusher” Corran (3-0) recovered from an early knockdown to score three of his own against Ramsgate’s Mac Bygraves (2-1), earning the TKO victory at 0:26 of Round 3. Post-fight, Corran repeatedly called out Mike Perry.
  • U.K. Cruiserweight Championship: Sedgefield’s Karl “The Wasp” Thompson (5-1) retained his U.K. Cruiserweight crown via a dominant 50-45 unanimous decision sweep over previously unbeaten Andy Thornton(2-1).

President’s Post-Event Presser

At the post-fight press conference, BKFC Founder and President David Feldman addressed the event's record-setting turnout and the promotion's future expansion:
“This is the highest attendance that they’ve had at AO Arena for any event this year, so we’re very, very happy about that. Great fights, great fights. The Main Event was a little lackluster. In all honesty, I think the guys, when I pay them the kind of money that these guys got paid, they need to go out there and let it hang out a little more. They need to risk a little more.”
“We’ve visited Major League Soccer stadiums, Major League Baseball stadiums and National Football League stadiums over the past several weeks. We’ve put together a partnership with those leagues, and will soon be announcing our Stadium Series, which is huge for us.”
  • Attendance: 15,894
