After defeat in the Light Heavyweight, Israel Adesanya will have to defend the title in front of the boxers in the top 5 Middleweight. Among them, Darren Till is the most mentioned name.
“Me and Marvin Vettori are two names being considered belt,” Till said on ESPN.
“Adesanya has challenged me for a long time.
Earlier, Israel Adesanya stated that there was no interest in confronting anyone in Middleweight except Darren Till.
“It's good to be mentioned. Usually people like me are the one who challenged the champion. But now Adesanya is the one who opened my mouth to call my name. Therefore, I will not miss this opportunity.”
Darren Till needs to win absolute in April to talk about the stretching. Because since returning to Middleweight, Till has only won only one victory over Kelvin Gastelum. Most recently he also received defeat to former Robert Whittaker.
In terms of competition, only Whittaker is worthy of the championship with two consecutive victories against the top boxers. However, he was the defeat of Adesanya in 2019. Now Adesanya needs a new opponent instead of a rematch, so the person who won the match Till vs. Vettori is likely to receive belt painting.
