Tom Aspinall remembers his time training with Tyson Fury
Aspinall credit anger by changing his approach to fighting during their time training together.
“I trained a total of about 18 months or two years every day at Team Fury. That experience was just fantastic,” he told the UFC in March 2022.
“Before I trained there, I was in early twenty, so I would take it a bit too seriously. If I made a mistake in a gym or in a fight, I would really take it to heart and sit on myself.
“When I started training with the Furys, especially around Tyson, he would take it just like a sport and not too seriously. He would mess a lot and really enjoy his training.
“It was just fun to be there. I learned a lot technically, but really only see his approach and how much he enjoys it and does not take it too seriously.”
