The fight will go ahead as planned, so long as Till does not weigh any more than 188 pounds by 1:00pm BST tomorrow.

While he&#8217;s making no excuses, and seems quite ashamed, he did divulge that his cut was joggled by a family emergency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s never no excuse for missing weight,\u201d Till said of\u00a0his weigh-in blunder. \u201cI always say it: When you fight, and you lose a fight, there\u2019s no excuse. You lose. Same with the battle with the scales. This time I lost, and there\u2019s no excuse. I know that the UFC said why I missed and gave some information. When I started cutting weight I got an emergency call. It was a family matter. I just had to go to the hospital there and back. I only had five kilos (11 pounds) to go. Usually I have six, seven. I was running. I was OK. I was fine. And I tried to get in the sauna, tried to get in the steam, I tried to do a bath. It just wasn\u2019t happening. I was knackered.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Till also cast some doubt on whether or not the fight will actually happen, evidently worried he won&#8217;t hit 188 pounds tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI missed weight, and I\u2019m truly embarrassed by it, but the fight\u2019s still on hopefully,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I\u2019ve got to weigh in again tomorrow. We\u2019ll see how it goes. I know they\u2019re very adamant I\u2019ve got to weigh a certain weight. The ball\u2019s in their court.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He also explained that he offered his full purse to Thompson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cListen, I offered 100 percent of my purse. Money is no object. Money will come sooner than later. I offered 100 percent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of Darren Till&#8217;s weigh-in miss?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPenn.com<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 5\/26\/2018. <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you haven\u2019t heard, Darren Till missed weight for his UFC Liverpool-headlining showdown with Stephen \u201cWonderboy\u201d Thompson by 3.5 pounds.
