Interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall has given his opinion on the recent undisputed heavyweight boxing fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. In what was hailed as one of the biggest boxing matches in recent memory, Usyk emerged victorious, becoming the first undisputed heavyweight champion in 25 years.

Aspinall, who has trained with Fury on several occasions, shared his honest opinion about the scoring of the fight. Despite Fury's claims of victory, Aspinall stated that it was "well justified" that Usyk was awarded the split decision. He commended both fighters for their skill, heart, and determination, adding that the bout was a treat for viewers.

The 31-year-old expressed his desire to see a rematch between the two heavyweight champions. Aspinall believes that Usyk's win was fair and square but acknowledged Fury's comeback before ultimately being knocked down in the ninth round.

Looking ahead to his own upcoming fight, Aspinall is seeking advice on how to prepare for an abnormal start time. He will defend his interim heavyweight title against Curtis Blaydes in the UFC 304 co-main event on July 27th, with the fight taking place on UK soil. However, Aspinall will have to adjust to a 4am local time start, a challenging task.

To navigate this unusual timing, Aspinall intends to reach out to other fighters who have experienced similar situations. He mentioned figures like Michael Bisping and Leon Edwards as potential sources of advice. Aspinall is also open to consulting doctors or scientists to better understand how to adjust his training schedule.

Aspinall's forthcoming match against Blaydes marks an important milestone in his career as he becomes only the fourth fighter to defend his interim heavyweight title. Despite the logistical challenges, Aspinall is determined to overcome them and deliver a formidable performance.

With his insightful commentary on the Fury vs. Usyk fight and his proactive approach to preparing for his next challenge, Tom Aspinall continues to solidify his status as a rising star in the world of combat sports.
