Till vs Taylor LIVE! Boxing result, fight stream, latest updates and reaction from Misfits Boxing 20

Darren Till vs Anthony Taylor LIVE!

A bloody Darren Till beat Anthony Taylor in the main event of Misfits Boxing 20. The former UFC fighter was originally supposed to square off against Tommy Fury but the latter pulled out of the bout back in December and Taylor stepped in.

Though Till did not disappoint on his hugely anticipated boxing debut at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester. Dominating the opening four rounds, he landed a huge uppercut on Taylor in round four but the American was able to meet the referee's count. That gave Taylor a second wind as he fought his way back into the bout during round five, landing some huge shots of his own, one which caught Till right on the nose to draw blood.

However, Till woke up in round six. He landed another uppercut which put Taylor down again and though Taylor was able to beat the count, it was clear he didn't have much left in the tank. Till took advantage, pressed forward, landed two clean shots with his left hand and followed that up with a huge right hand before a third shot with the left dropped Taylor who fell face-first to the canvas.

Hands on the hips from Wade.

Momentum is now with Masai, can he do this?!? Don’t think Wade expected this.

Masai looks like he’s tiring but he finds a second win and unloads on Wade with a brilliant combination.

30 seconds left, now or never for Masai as he swings right up until the end.

Great effort from Masai after Wade dominated the first three rounds.

To the scoreboard we go.

47-46 (Jade), 48-47 (Shah) and 47-47.

Melanie Shah not happy

21:09 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Safe to say Melanie Shah is not happy with the outcome, questions what Carla Jade did to her.

Crowd not happy either as they boo Carla Jade during her post-match interview!

Offers a rematch to Melanie Shah as she wasn’t “100%”.

Carla Jade vs Melanie Shah

21:07 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

20:34 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Anyway....here is your winner...

Little T speaks

20:32 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

“I wanted the knockout, it was like fighting a ballerina.”

Challenges someone called ‘Beavo’?

Little T vs Afghan Dan

20:29 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Round Two

Afghan Dan lands a sharp jab but the referee stops the action as he deducts a point from Dan.

Little T pushes forward swinging for Dan.

Oh No! Afghan Dan screams in pain, looks like he's dislocated his shoulder to bring an end to this fight.

Winner: Little T

Little T vs Afghan Dan

20:26 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Round One

This one breaks down immediately! Little T has Afghan Dan twisting in and out trying to avoid some shots.

They’re just swinging at each other, minimal technique involved.

For some reason Afghan Dan keeps turning his head, allowing for Little T to hit him and the referee has to warn him to stop.

Little T is dominating here, he is landing with some powerful shots but Dan won’t go down.

And that’s it for round one, somehow Dan survives! That was...bizarre?

Little T vs Afghan Dan

20:19 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Afghan Dan is first out for his bout against Little T. They say this ‘beef’ in 10 years in the making.

KSI says “they hate each other”.

Apparently, this all started because of a ‘diss track’.

Strong words

20:16 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Strong words from Little T on Afghan Dan: “He’s built like my little sister.”

Adam Brooks gets the win as the crowd boos.

Adam Brooks vs Gavinio

19:36 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Round One

Brooks with a left hook uppercut sits Gavinio down but the latter gets back to his feet.

That seemed to fire up Gavinio as he rallies towards the end of the round, landing a nice shot on Brooks in the process.

I’m sure there was a headbutt in there too!

Adam Brooks vs Gavinio

19:30 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
