Tom Aspinall risks stalling his career peak with Eddie Hearn's boxing push, analyst warns

Tom Aspinall, who turned 33 and holds the UFC heavyweight title with zero defenses, faces a potentially damaging career trajectory if his manager Eddie Hearn pursues a boxing crossover. Aspinall's reputation as a finisher took a hit against Gane, and a move to boxing would offer little long-term financial upside while potentially closing the door on his return to the UFC. The most likely outcome of Hearn's current approach, the analyst argues, is a prolonged contractual standoff that costs Aspinall his prime fighting years.
