Till and Rockhold almost came to blowsOn Thursday – just three days before they are due to fight – the two clashed at the press conference.
But before the talking on stage could even start Till and Rockhold were held back by security after threatening to start the fight early.
Security desperately intervened to stop the arch rivals from brawling before the first bell.
Till then demanded the rounds change to eight rounds, screaming: “Why didn’t you accept eight rounds and said you’ll only fight me over six?”
Rockhold, 40, then replied: “I said either one.”
And Till, 32, hit back: “No you never. Because if that’s the truth let’s make it eight rounds.”
Rockhold then agreed: “Make it eight rounds.”
The two just about managed to shake hands before again breaking out into a brawl.
MISFITS boxing is back for an absolutely massive card this weekend.

But Till warned: “This fight’s now eight rounds or I ain’t fighting.”
The Liverpudlian has won his two bouts in Misfits Boxing – beating MMA stars Anthony Taylor and Darren Stewart.
Former UFC middleweight champion Rockhold crosses over to boxing for the first time since retiring from MMA.
KSI – the YouTuber-turned-boxer who co-founded the celebrity-style platform for crossover bouts – then faced off the pair.
But unsurprisingly, security again had to intervene as an all-out brawl threatened to break out on the stage.
