Ever since his thudding, October knockout of Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone, Darren Till has been eager for another big name opponent.
Over the last few months, the undefeated welterweight contender has called for bouts with Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson, Kamaru Usman, and most recently, fellow knockout artist “Platinum” Mike Perry.
See some his exchanges with these dangerous welterweights in the Tweets below:

#HappyBirthday @darrentill2 and #MerryChristmas , for a gift I’d like to give you a contract with my name on it. We’ll make it happen. Until then don’t lose that 0 and remember nobody wants to stand and fight you like I do. #TheyreAllGonnaRun

Apparently, however, Till isn’t optimistic that any of these fights will actually get booked. On Tuesday afternoon, the British striker took to Twitter to share his frustration with the difficulty he’s having finding an opponent.
Rankings rankings rankings… blah blah blah… just fucking fight!!!!!!! Perry, usman, wonderboy all the fucking same… 🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍

“Rankings, rankings, rankings,” Till said in his Tweet. “Blah, blah, blah…. just fucking fight! Perry, Usman, Wonderboy, all the fucking same.”
Needless to say, Darren Till is starting to get a little impatient. Who do you want to see the surging British welterweight contender fight next?
