Overview
- On Monday, June 1 Aspinall attended Eddie Hall’s buildup and told DAZN Boxing that Brock Lesnar is his “dream” or “freaky” opponent.
- Aspinall remains sidelined after double eye surgery from the UFC 321 no-contest with Ciryl Gane, and a recent scan extended the timeline before he can spar or fight.
- The UFC scheduled an interim heavyweight title fight for June 14 between Ciryl Gane and Alex Pereira to keep the division active while Aspinall recovers.
- Brock Lesnar has not fought in MMA since 2016 and is 48 years old, making a competitive return unlikely even though his recent WWE appearances add crossover appeal.
- Aspinall’s earlier signing with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom and interest in DAZN boxing opportunities raise commercial and timing pressures around how and when his next title defense will be promoted.
