Israel Adesanya wants to fight Darren Till

In a recent conversation with Submission Radio, Adesanya teased a potential fight against Darren Till in the future. He claimed thet he wants to fight ‘The Gorilla’ at the O2 Arena or at the Wimbledon.

Initially, he talked about the upcoming fight between Jared Cannonier and Robert Whittaker. Adesanya claimed that he hopes that The Gorilla beats Robert Whittaker, as he would  prefer more facing a new challenger than a rematch with Whittaker. Adesanya has earlier  defeated Whittaker to win Middleweight strap.

“I hope Cannonier beats Robert, cause I want a new body,” Adesanya said. “Jack Hermansson, I don’t really mind too much. But I’d like Darren to get that one done, but he didn’t really get it done [in his last fight] against Robert. It was a good fight, close fight, but I think maybe the takedowns gave it to Robert. Who knows. But yeah, the Jack Hermansson and Darren Till fight, I don’t really mind. But Cannonier, I hope Cannonier whoops his ass. I want to fight that guy, I like him.”

The Last Stylebender even displayed interest in fighting Jack Hermansson. The two men are scheduled to fight on 5th December in the main event bout of their card.

“Same with Darren. But also Jack Hermansson I’d like to fight, but I really want to fight Darren one day in the O2 or in Wimbledon. That would be a good excuse to go to England. Go sip some tea and crumpets.”– added Israel Adesanya.
