Aspinall: "If I were Ngannou, I would have stayed in boxing"

Dmitriy Kel March 27, 2024, 2:30 p.m.

UFC interim heavyweight titleholder Tom Aspinall believes former division champion Francis Ngannou needs to continue to develop his boxing career.

"It's up to him what he does next. If I were him I would go where the money is. As far as I'm concerned the money is in boxing now but I'm not Francis Ngannou so who knows.

I see a lot of MMA fighters think it's easy to switch to boxing. Like, they punch, we punch too. However, that's not the case. I've done many rounds with high level professional boxers and I can tell you it's not that easy. These guys have been boxing since they were ten years old," - quotes Aspinall MMA Fighting.
