OLBG has sat down with UFC heavyweight star, Tom Aspinall, who said:

The whole world would watch Fury vs Ngannou

Aspinall: “Tyson Fury said he wants to fight Francis Ngannou in MMA gloves inside a cage but with boxing rules, the whole world would watch that. There’s nothing I would enjoy more than that fight. That would be absolutely awesome. If they did three five minute rounds and they were allowed some kind of clinching as well, maybe let them clinch for like 30 seconds, let them have some under hooks and that, I’d love to see that more than anything else.”

“I would have loved to see Jones-Ngannou but I think what Ngannou has done is really good. I respect people who stick to their views and if something is not right for them they still stick by what they believe. I really respect that on a personal level. If someone is convinced of something and they won’t move on it, you have to respect that in any walk of life.”

I want to fight abroad – I’ll have same appeal as Ricky Hatton

“I think I could definitely have that Ricky Hatton style support when I eventually fight abroad. I think that even though I’m not as big a name internationally as I am here, I’ll have that travelling support when I eventually fight abroad. I think that’s on the cards. A big group of people with me when I fight aboard. Maybe not Vegas first, maybe a little European away day to warm us up, let the people get used to travelling, then let’s see where it goes. It’s going to be great.”

Jake Paul has made Tommy Fury take training seriously – Fight prediction is 50-50

“It’s a 50-50 fight between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury. I like Jake Paul and Tommy Fury is a mate of mine, I’ve known him since he was 14 years old. I’ve not seen him train for a while but I spoke to his brother recently, Roman Fury. And Roman said he’s really turned a corner in his training. He said something has switched in him and he’s looking amazing in the gym and has really turned the corner, and I guess that’s true because Roman’s not said that on any media outlet, he wasn’t saying it to big Tommy up – sometimes people say things to the media that aren’t true. Roman said it in a private situation, so if he’s saying that I believe that’s the truth and I think it’s going to be a 50-50 fight.”
