Tom Aspinall has been praised by boxing trainer and analyst Teddy Atlas for showing the benefits of his early-career training with Tyson Fury.
The Salford fighter at one point considered changing careers from MMA to boxing while training with the Fury family, including world heavyweight champion Tyson, top contender Hughie and prospect Tommy. But he opted to continue with MMA, finally making it to the UFC in 2020 and bursting on to the scene to become a major player in his five fights since.
And Atlas believes that the training between Aspinall and high level boxers such as Tyson Fury has shown in his recent performances. He has shown a propensity for stopping fights early, and broke the record for the quickest time to reach five UFC wins when he submitted Alexander Volkov on Saturday night at UFC London in The O2 Arena.
