On Thursday, just three days before the fight, a scuffle broke out at a press conference between the two fighters.

Before the discussion began on stage, Till and Rockhold were restrained by security as they threatened to start fighting before the bell.

Security rushed in to prevent a conflict between the rivals.

Till demanded to increase the number of rounds to eight, shouting: “Why didn’t you accept eight rounds and said you would only fight for six?”
Rockhold, 40, replied: “I said - or one.”
Till, 32, countered: “No, you never. If that’s true, let’s make it eight rounds.”
Rockhold then agreed: “Let’s do eight rounds.”

After that, both fighters shook hands but began to argue again.
