But, now the Liverpool native claims he would fight Romero and that he was just joking around with his original comments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t take myself too seriously,\u201d Till said to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jmnlk9klF2w&amp;feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BT Sport<\/a>. \u201cIf Colin [Heron] was still here right now, he\u2019d probably be shouting at me but if you turned a corner and said \u2018Darren\u2019s scared to fight Yoel.&#8217; I think you\u2019d pretty much know the response. Me coming from the gym I come from and the master I\u2019ve been taught under. He\u2019s like a Shaolin monk. Colin goes to the gym in the morning and he stays in the gym at night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I\u2019m not scared of Yoel. It\u2019s just, don\u2019t take life too seriously. I understand, I realize and I recognize what Yoel is as a fighter, as a human. He walks in here, he\u2019s a specimen. It\u2019s just jokes, mate. People shouldn\u2019t take it too seriously,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I\u2019ve seen actually a few people take it seriously and I\u2019m like come on, mate. Have a day off from yourself.\u2019 Whether you think Yoel would beast me around or not is totally irrelevant. This is all down to the fact that me saying I was scared of Yoel. And then people are like \u2018wow, he\u2019s actually said that. After giving a great interview, he\u2019s just said that. Two, three, four days later, he calls him out and then he regrets calling him out. Then he posts the gorilla running away. It\u2019s all fun and games, mate, really.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although he says he is just joking around, it appears a fight between the two seems unlikely. Instead, all signs point to Darren Till <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/robert-whittaker\/robert-whittaker-agrees-to-fight-darren-till-in-london\/\">taking on Robert Whittaker next<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>What do you make of Darren Till saying he isn&#8217;t scared of Yoel Romero and he is just joking around?
