Taylor's dig at Fury
MISFITS BOXING star Anthony Taylor aimed a brutal dig at Tommy Fury after losing to Darren Till.
Fury was due to fight Till at Misfits 20 in Manchester but he pulled out after the ex-UFC star threatened to KICK him in the head.
So Taylor filled in on a months notice but was stopped in six rounds following three knockdowns.
And afterwards, he posted online: "Now we know why Tommy Fury pulled out."
Fury - who beat Taylor on points in 2021 - is yet to announce his next fight after withdrawing against Till.
Taylor speaks out
Most worrying moment of the night came after Darren Till knocked out Anthony Taylor.
As AT left the ring, he collapsed and medics had to rush to him, carting him to the dressing rooms in a wheelchair.
Thankfully, after getting checked out at hospital, he's okay.
Fighting talk from Carla Jade
Carla Jade defended her belt with a draw against Melanie Shah.
But now she wants all the talk to stop and if Melanie or former opponent Nikki Hru want a rematch, she will happily oblige.
"I’ve been quite vocal in saying I want to rematch Melanie and NOW," she wrote on social media.
"They can either set a date, or spend their time crying on socials. It’s literally boring now so I’ll wait for them to accept. I’m going back to enjoying my family, work and boxing."
MMA Guru reacts

Till slams Fury
After Tommy Fury pulled out of a fight with Darren Till, the Scouser was unforgiving with his assessment of the Love Island star.
When asked what Fury would think of his demolition job of Anthony Taylor, Till was far from complimentary about the boxer's IQ.
He said: "I don’t know if he’s got a brain to think."
Till believes Fury cancelled their fight (scheduled for Misfits Boxing 20) because he heard how well he was doing in sparring.
Little T calls out Beavo
After Little T's win over BGMedia rival Afghan Dan, he called out TikTok sensation Beavo for a future Misfits bout.
Speaking to Misfits Boxing's media crew, he said: "Beavo, I took your fight, you probably jumped out of it. I want you, bro. Teeth on teeth. Let's do it.
"He called me out last year when I was in Benidorm. He said he wanted me a fight on Misfits, so let's get it done bro."

“I always said to them: ‘Look, if it ever comes back around, I’ll always join you if you have me.’
