Promoter Eddie Hearn has confirmed a third UFC fighter will appear on an upcoming boxing event that already features heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall and welterweight contender Ian Machado Garry, though the identity of that additional booking has not yet been revealed.
Aspinall, 33, enters the card as one of the most decorated active UFC champions, holding a 15-3-0 record while sitting sixth in the pound-for-pound rankings. The Team Kaobon product out of England stands six-foot-five with a 78-inch reach and has built a reputation as one of the most dangerous finishers in the heavyweight division, averaging 7.63 significant strikes per minute at a remarkable 67 percent striking accuracy. He also contributes 2.62 takedowns per 15 minutes, making him a genuine threat across all phases.
Garry, nicknamed "The Future," arrives at 28 years old with a 17-1-0 record and the number-one ranking in the UFC welterweight division. The six-foot-three Irish fighter carries a 74-inch reach and averages 4.78 significant strikes per minute at 54 percent accuracy, establishing himself as one of the sharpest strikers in a loaded 170-pound weight class.
Why it matters
- Aspinall is the reigning UFC heavyweight champion, giving the card immediate marquee credibility in combat sports crossover events.
- Garry holds the top welterweight contender spot, raising the profile of his boxing appearance considerably.
- A third UFC name, still unannounced, suggests Hearn is constructing a significant multi-fight showcase around UFC talent rather than a one-off crossover appearance.
- The event represents growing overlap between UFC and professional boxing promotional landscapes.
