“I keep 50/50 on each,” Till explained when asked how the fight will go. “I don’t know, some days I say Jake because I do know Jake is the larger man. But then I don’t think you possibly can rule Perry out.
“He’s a tricky man and he’s been beating all of those veterans. So it’s a 50/50. I’m going to sway towards Jake slightly bit more.”

The previous UFC star was asked by host Fred Beck who he feels can be a tougher fight between Jake Paul or his social media rival KSI. In response, he noted that while the American can be the harder opponent he can’t imagine losing to either.
“Jake Paul does [give the harder challenge] but I still don’t consider it a tricky fight,” he noted. “I just don’t see how Jake beats me. I’m the identical size as him, I’m higher, I’m slicker, I’m fast and I’m more explosive. I’m not being boastful with my prediction, it’s just that Jake can’t beat me.”

The fight that has truly captured the imagination with the general public through the years has been Till vs Perry. The pair sparred together years ago, but now that they’re out of the UFC, it’s believed that they might eventually meet in BKFC.
“He just can’t beat me,” Till said of Paul, before adding: “And if I’m being honest Mike Perry can’t beat me either. I feel I’d have a tougher fight with Perry in bare-knuckle obviously because he’s that guy.
“But still I just don’t see within the stand-up where they beat me, I’m just being truthful in my evaluation. I’m going to perform well on Saturday after which I feel I’ll push for these big fights, for me that’s the Jake Pauls and the Mike Perrys.
“That’s what I see the long run being for me now, I feel the paydays are going to match up and that’s what I deserve. I’ve been on this game an extended time, I’ve put in a variety of blood, sweat and tears so I’m deserving of it.”
