While there is no official confirmation on it yet, a move up to light heavyweight might be a positive one for Till. This is a division that is lacking big names right now and has a new champion in Jan Blachowicz. It remains to be seen whether Till actually follows through on his comments. Either way, Darren Till is an interesting fighter to watch regardless of weight classes.
