Darren Till and Yoel Romero Lead Record-Breaking Ticket Sales for BKFC Fight in Manchester

The Big Fight in Manchester: Till vs. Romero The upcoming showdown between Darren Till and Yoel Romero, set for September 26 at the AO Arena in Manchester, is already being hailed as a massive sporting event attracting global attention. Both former MMA stars, Till and Romero, internationally recognized as top UFC fighters, have now joined BKFC – Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship – bringing huge hype among fight fans.

Record-Breaking Ticket Sales Demand for the Till vs. Romero fight has far exceeded initial expectations: over 5,000 tickets were sold early on, prompting the organizers to open additional sections in the AO Arena, which holds up to 23,000 spectators. This marks a significant jump compared to Till’s previous events under Misfits Boxing, where large parts of the arena were closed off and the fights took place in a more intimate setting.

High Demand and Event Expectations BKFC CEO David Feldman expressed great excitement about the unprecedented demand: "Tickets are selling fast, and the Manchester event is going to be huge. We’ve increased arena capacity and expect a full house." He also noted that this event follows BKFC’s major success at the recent Sturgis event, which drew over 20,000 fans, and that preparations are underway for a show at one of the most iconic venues in the U.S. – Fenway Park in Boston.

The success of the Manchester event highlights the growing popularity of bare-knuckle boxing, a sport distinct from MMA and traditional boxing, attracting a new audience eager for direct, uncompromising action.
