Till was born in Liverpool, England and began training in Muay Thai at the age of 12. After dropping out of school aged 14, he turned professional a year later and began training in MMA with Team Kaobon aged 17. In August 2012, Till was stabbed twice in the back after confronting a large group of men at a party. The knife missed his main artery by a millimeter and doctors claimed he was lucky to be alive. Following the incident, his coach Colin Heron advised Till to move to Brazil to train with a former Team Kaobon coach to avoid troubles in his hometown.

Till was once involved in a stabbing incident that left him with two scars on his back. According to the 27-year-old Muay Thai stylist, he fought "multiple bouncers and patrons" at a club during a party in August 2012. Sensing that life in Liverpool, England, was detrimental to his development, Till's coach advised him to move to Brazil to continue his training. He wound up staying in the South American country for three and a half years despite initial plans for a six-month stay.
