The news will come as a blow to UFC fans, who had not seen Till compete on home soil since his 2019 defeat by Jorge Masvidal.
Till moved up to middleweight after that loss, but has won just one fight at the weight, beating Kelvin Gastelum in November 2019. He currently has a record of 18 wins and four losses.
UFC London is headlined by heavyweight Tom Aspinall, with Molly McCann and Paddy Pimblett also in action.
