Tom Aspinall is going to be releasing content throughout what he says is a 12-week camp.
On Wednesday, Eddie Hearn revealed that Aspinall’s team have reached out to the UFC about him making his return to the Octagon.
Aspinall shared his live reaction to Ciryl Gane’s interim title win earlier this month that set up a huge rematch between them for the near future.
In his latest post, the Brit suggested that he isn’t just back in training, but already beginning his camp.

Tom Aspinall suggests he’s started a 12-week camp that would end in September
On June 25, Tom Aspinall released the first episode of a podcast series that he recorded earlier this year while recovering from his eye injuries.
The heavyweight champion promoted the debut of ‘The Inner Game’ via a post on X where he confirmed the news that talks are happening between his team and the UFC.
When laying out when fans can expect to see more episodes, Aspinall seemingly suggested that they will be consistently released through his current 12-week training camp.
“Back in full training for the Ciryl Gane fight and we’re currently in talks with the UFC… These episodes will be coming out over the next 12 weeks while I’m in camp,” he wrote.

When sharing his reaction to Gane’s recent win, Aspinall accepted his callout to make their rematch happen in Paris, France in September.
If the Brit has just started a 12-week training camp, depending on the specific date he started, that means he’d be roughly finishing his preparations just a few days after the UFC Fight Night in Paris is scheduled to take place.
It seems highly unlikely that this Fight Night event will be upgraded to a numbered card or be headlined by a title fight but the UFC moving away from the PPV model could change that.
A matchup of this magnitude to unify the heavyweight titles would seem more fitting at one of the promotion’s big trips to Abu Dhabi or New York that will likely be coming up after September.
