Till: 'Pereira is not ready to fight Chimaev'

Darren Till

british middleweight Darren Till spoke about a potential fight between the champion in his division Alex Pereira and undefeated welterweight Khamzat Chimaev.

Till highly appreciates the Brazilian's striking power, but at the same time believes that he will not be able to cope with the struggle of the Swedish fighter.

“Pereira has what Anthony Johnson had. It was enough for Rumble to touch a man's head with his little finger, and he fell. Alex is the same. As for his wrestling, he is just starting out in this sport. I saw Khamzat challenge him, and I thought: "God, he will transfer him in 30 seconds." Anything can happen in a fight, but Pereira is not ready for that,” Till said in an interview with Michael Bisping’s YouTube channel.
