Quick read
Phil De Fries, a friend and training partner of Tom Aspinall, has stated that Alex Pereira previously turned down an opportunity to face Aspinall. De Fries expressed his belief that Aspinall is better than Cyril Gane and would present different stylistic challenges. He suggested that while Gane might match up differently against Pereira, a bout with Aspinall would be an excellent fight for the interim heavyweight champion. The post details are limited regarding when this offer was allegedly made or under what circumstances.
