Dude trained with Tyson Fury in boxing for nearly 2 years, there's a lot of photos and footage of it idk why they would leave it out of his origin story. Actually I know why, it's because the reason he went over to boxing was because MMA was letting him down at a regional level in terms of progressing his career, and it would look bad for the UFC to show this, misses a chunk of his life but whatever makes the sport look good I guess.

*Tom Aspinall definitely has the best chance at winning the belt of all English fighters.* Till needs to stop training hard he keeps injuring himself. Stick to 70% and go for volume. Paddy needs to work on his stand up a lot. He should try to partner up with Izzy, Volkanovski, Hooker etc. They would be a good mesh and help each other bring out the best in their skills.
