Francis Ngannou Defends Tom Aspinall’s Decision To Halt Fight After Eye Injury

Ngannou defended the current heavyweight champion following his eye-poke incident against Ciryl Gane on October 25, saying Aspinall made the right decision to stop fighting. “The eye poke compromised Tom’s vision,” Ngannou said, noting that losing under such conditions would invite criticism from the same fans. The ex-heavyweight champion emphasized that damaged vision is far riskier than other in-fight injuries.
