Tom Aspinall risks wasted prime years if Eddie Hearn's UFC standoff continues

Tom Aspinall, who turned 33 and has made zero title defenses as UFC heavyweight champion, faces bleak prospects if his manager Eddie Hearn continues clashing with UFC management. A move to boxing would offer only a single high-profile payday with little path to sustained earnings, while Aspinall's UFC contract is expected to run at least two more years with little leverage to renegotiate. The most likely outcome of the ongoing standoff is Aspinall sitting out his peak years without fighting.
