DARREN TILL has been ruled out of his UFC London co-headliner fight against Jack Hermansson through injury.

But Till has himself been pulled out, according to ESPN, after suffering an undisclosed injury.

Chris Curtis, 34, is set to instead step in and face Swedish-born Norwegian Hermansson, also 34, instead.

Till is coming off two straight losses to ex-champion Robert Whittaker, 31, and current contender Derek Brunson, 38.

He has since been training alongside rising welterweight star Khamzat Chimaev, 28.
