The former Love Island star emerged victorious via unanimous decision to stretch his unbeaten record to 10 as a professional.
Fury, who also overcame Mike Tyson’s conqueror Jake Paul eight months prior, had been heavily linked with a rematch against KSI.
The 25-year-old only recently restarted training having undergone surgery in January on a hand injury he had been carrying since 2019.
Fury, who also endured a high-profile break-up with Molly-Mae Hague, will now instead return on a card promoted by KSI’s company.
Liverpool’s Till, who boasts an 18-5 MMA record, is continuing his transition to the squared circle since his UFC release in March 2023.
However, the 31-year-old saw a proposed fight on Paul vs Tyson’s original July date scrapped, with his boxing debut against Mohammad Mutie instead being marred by a post-fight brawl.

Fury vs Till: What has been said?
“It feels great to, finally, say that I am back. I have been out of the ring far too long,” Fury said.
“I have been getting itchy knuckles, and so I am thrilled to be able to announce my return.
“This is extra special as I am the A-side and headlining a massive event in my hometown and in front of my fans.
“Till had a good UFC career, but he is stepping into the boxing ring now, against a proper pro, and he will quickly realise that he is out of his depth, and this is not the game for him.
“I plan on dealing with Till in conclusive fashion and then chasing even bigger fights in 2025.”

Darren Till said: “January 18 is my time, my night.”
Mams Taylor, Co-President of Misfits Boxing, said: “We are starting 2025 with a serious statement of intent!
“Fury vs. Till is an absolute banger, one of the biggest crossover fights that can be made, and it will set up the X Series for a record-breaking year.
“The build-up to this is going to be compelling, it could get personal, and the fight will be one of the most brutal we have ever seen on Misfits!”
