Darren Till, Luke Rockhold grapple at press conference ahead of X Series 22
It's not often that you see opponents attempt to lock up during a face-off ahead of a boxing match, but Darren Till and Luke Rockhold aren't your typical boxers.
Both men made their names in the UFC cage, and next month they'll square off in a boxing ring as the headline fight at MF & DAZN: X Series 22.
Kicking off the build-up to the event, named "Ring of Thrones," Till and Rockhold were part of a press conference on Wednesday. The duo engaged in the usual verbal sparring while on the dais, taking shots at each other's weight and mentality, among other things.

Security intervened as expected, but the pair can take their frustrations out for real when they meet August 30, live on DAZN PPV.
