Tom Aspinall is divided over whether Tommy Fury or Darren Till will emerge victorious
With the animosity between Tommy Fury and Darren Till reaching boiling point in just under two months, the two fighting titans will get the chance to settle their differences in the ring.
Although the Love Island runner-up has more traditional boxing experience and has competed at a high level in Muay Thai, the Scouser certainly has a chance to upset the apple cart.
Throughout their careers, Fury and Till have worked with a string of legendary fighters, including UFC interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall.
The powerhouse is completely split on who will come out on top in this intriguing clash, although he was mostly complimentary of the former UFC star's striking ability.

In an exclusive interview with Bloody Elbow, he said: “As far as predictions and stuff, it's kind of hard for me to say because I've known Tommy for a long time, but I haven't really trained with him since he was about 18. So I haven't wrestled him or anything like that in a long time.
“Also Till, I used to spar him in MMA, and boxing is a different sport. It's hard. From a personal point of view, I don't really know how they do it in the sport of boxing.
“Till actually has very, very good hands. I think it's a good fight either way. I'll be there. I'll be there. It's also live at the Co-Op. I love the Co-Op Live so I'll be there to support. It will be a fun event.”
