Tom Aspinall had to approach an ex-boxer and ask him for the £ 50 that he owed him.
In his UFC career, the Englishman has proven as one of the scariest men on the planet, ruthless to eliminate everyone he connects.
For whatever reason, Jon Jones did a U-turn to fight Aspinall, and many who shared the Octagon with the powerhouse have become unconscious.
But as intimidating as the MMA star, even he was somewhat nervous about raising money from one of the biggest personalities of Boxing.

“John Fury always buys and sells old cars. I had this old Mercedes, I was going to delete it, I was like 21 at that time, I thought:” I will ask John, he wants to get rid of this Mercedes “.
“So he bought the Mercedes from mine for £ 250, it had about 200,000 miles on it. Anyway, I did not change the owner's certificate or whatever and John got a parking ticket in it and I had to ask every £ 50 because it came to my house.
“I remember that I had three attempts, I had to build the confidence to ask him, I had something like that:” I will ask him now “.
“I was a young child then, he was super nice, he gave me the £ 50. Only the structure to ask John Fury for £ 50 [was crazy]. Scary man. “
