Interestingly, the normally jovial and hilarious fighter got serious. The Liverpudlian discussed a host of engaging subjects, including how the physical strain he's endured has affected his mental health. Addressing his latest fight withdrawal, Darren Till said: "It's just so frustrating at this point in my career now, man. I'm happy for the way in which MMA is going. To see all these up and comers, Tom [Aspinall], Paddy [Pimblett]... I'm so happy for seeing them in the position they're in. But it's so f*****g frustrating for me at the same time because I know my potential." The 29-year-old added: "I'm the f*****g best out there and I know that. It's just such a f*****g depressing time for me at the moment... These f*****g comments and all these even fighters and they're like, 'Oh, you f*****g pulled out.' I'm like, 'Mate, come to the gym and I will f*****g take you out'... I took this little bit of mentality on. I feel like I'm in a Tyson Fury moment."
