Darren Till told The Ariel Helwani Show he was asked through his manager two or three weeks ago whether he would phone John Fury and apologize so a Tommy Fury fight could be made. Till said he would not do it even for $10 million, an example he gave rather than an offer, and would not name who asked. Addressing John Fury, he said: "Get your son to fight me." He also insulted both Furys in strong terms, then added that fighters say unkind things and that "when it's all said and done, it's respect".
