Tom Aspinall Preparing for Potential Title Fight
Tom Aspinall has ramped up his training for a possible heavyweight title fight in November, even though nothing has been officially confirmed. With Jon Jones expected to face Stipe Miocic, Aspinall is positioning himself as a potential backup. He’s made it clear that he’s ready to step in on short notice, emphasizing his readiness both physically and mentally. “I’m back training…preparing for the rumored fight – which isn’t confirmed yet,” Aspinall stated on his YouTube channel.
Prepared for Any Scenario
Despite the lack of official confirmation from the UFC, Aspinall is training as if he’s already been named the backup fighter. After a brief break, he has resumed intensive training, confident in his ability to step in if either Jones or Miocic withdraws.
“After my last fight against Curtis Blaydes, there was talk about me being the backup fighter. UFC spoke to me directly about it, and I said, ‘I’m in. If someone pulls out, I’m in.’”
Aspinall’s recent victories, including a swift knockout of Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 295, have positioned him as a top contender.
“Jon’s the undisputed champion, but I’m the best in the world,” Aspinall confidently declared, highlighting his readiness to claim the title should the opportunity arise.
A Champion’s Mentality
Aspinall remains focused on his ultimate goal of becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion. He continues to train hard, knowing that the Jones vs. Miocic fight isn’t yet set in stone. Even without official designation as the backup, he prepares as though his title shot is inevitable.
“I don’t need to wait for the UFC to tell me officially. I’m preparing right now,” he said.
