However, after the match was cancelled, a scuffle broke out between the two in the ring.
Amidst the chaos, security personnel entered the ring to separate the two boxers.
Mutti was injured after being tackled by Till’s “rabbit punches”, which left him falling to the ground holding the back of his head.
Till hit the back of his opponent’s head during the clinch, after which the referee stopped the fight as Muti was unable to continue.
However, as soon as he got to his feet, the Palestinian fighter confronted Till inside the ring.
Their heated exchange soon turned into a scuffle and security personnel and coaches entered the ring to separate them.
Tempers eventually cooled, but only after Mutti grabbed the Englishman’s leg and knocked him down.
In a post-fight interview, Till said, “That’s fighting – you get hit.

“If you don’t want to continue the fight, don’t fight. He’s not a fighter. He’s trying to be a fighter. He’s a coward.”
“Then when I’m busy with my work he comes and attacks me. I’m so sorry. I’m not that guy. I’m a respectable man.”
“I love fighting. I love Dubai, I have been coming here since 2016. I am here minding my own business and he came and attacked me with his team.
“I have to defend myself, so I’m sorry about that, guys. I’m sorry.”
Till was making his boxing debut at the event, held in Dubai, which also featured social media star Abdu Rozik.
The mixed martial artist was previously scheduled to face former middleweight world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on the undercard of Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson later this month.
However, their bout was scrapped due to the main event being cancelled.
