He cited Till threatening to HEAD KICK him as the reason for withdrawing.

Chalmers, 37, said: "Tommy Fury has absolutely s*** his pants to fight Darren Till.
"Till's put it on him and his dad at the press conference and they've f***ing s*** themselves saying he's gonna head kick him.
"Here it is, I was in negotiations to fight Darren Till in December until Tommy came along and he's obviously went with the Tommy Fury fight.
"Tommy has now s*** his pants, so I was game to fight Darren in December, January, February, so I will happily step in and take Tommy Fury’s place and fight Darren Till.

"Because one thing I have got is b*****s and I certainly won't be pulling out because someone says they're going to throw a head kick."
Former super-middleweight world champion Billy Joe Saunders - who has not fought since defeat to Canelo Alvarez in 2021 - also called out Till.
And Saunders, 35, told : "If there's a chance to obviously, I could get in there, me and Darren Till.
"It's not really proper boxing, Darren is right really in a way, I've heard him say it.
"So it wouldn't be the real me, but listen, if he's gonna lose out on a few quid and there's someone out there that wants me to step in, then obviously my phone's there for a conversation to be had."
Saunders formerly campaigned at the 168lb division of 12st but Till's bout with Fury was scheduled for heavyweight.
But Saunders said: "Listen the shape - it doesn't really matter what shape.
"I wouldn't be considering getting down to no stupid weights or putting in any weight clauses so we've got to reach certain weights. I'm not really bothered.
