Darren Till won a unanimous decision over fellow former UFC title challenger Yoel Romero in his second Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) bout on Saturday.
Till (2-0 in BKFC), 33, earned scores of 49-46, 49-46, 49-46 over Miami-based Cuban Romero (1-1 in BKFC), 49, in a cruiserweight bout that headlined BKFC 94 at the AO Arena in Manchester, England.
Till, who knocked out Aaron Chalmers in Round 2 of his bare-knuckle debut in May, could face Lorenzo Hunt in his next BKFC fight, although Tommy Fury -- brother of boxing's former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury -- is also an option.
Liverpool-based Till came face-to-face with Hunt in the ring afterward and said: "You're just a punch bag. Yoel Romero is better than you, you will get put to sleep Lorenzo. I've fought in every combat sport in the world and I'm here."
Hunt (12-2), 44, from Ohio, is the BKFC iron weight champion.
Also on the same card, Jack Cullen won the BKFC middleweight championship in his third bare-knuckle fight with a split decision over David Mundell.
Former professional boxer Cullen, from Bolton, won scores of 58-55, 57-56, with 57-56 to Mundell after a sixth, deciding round.
