Tom Aspinall says no one has hit him harder than a boxer nicknamed ‘Big Sexy’
Before that, he went eight rounds with top contender Filip HrgovicThe 32-year-old tried to make a comeback last year, but officially retired from boxing after failing to be licensed due to ‘ongoing issues’ out of his control.

In fact, he will return exactly one year on from his injury when he faces off against Marcin Tybura in the main event of the UFC’s latest trip to the English capital on July 22., but won’t be easy to achieve against a fighter who has won seven of his last eight bouts.
