In an exclusive interview with Sky Sports, he said, “Little gloves for sure, five-minute rounds that would definitely make it a little bit even, and I think they should do like first-round boxing only. The second round may be like boxing and low kicks and the third round I don’t know boxing low kicks and clinching.”

Furthermore, Aspinall praised Tyson Fury and said, “he’s talking about one of the best boxers ever lived like the chances are still pretty small that obviously, Francis Ngannou hits like an absolute truck so he still has a punches chance but I think if you put a couple of kicks in there and a bit of clinching and five-minute rounds it would even up a bit.”
