The Brit also thanked the fans to send him well wishes for his recovery and also added he will get his knee fixed and come back stronger.

“Anybody who’s have knee problems knows that in order to have an MRI scan an accurate MRI scan, you need to let the swelling go down. So I spoke to the surgeon, we have verified what it is but we are currently waiting for the swelling to go down and I will be having the MRI scan this weekend and have a surgery early next week in London. So,just wanna say massive thank you to everyone who reached out, obviously I have been offline been down in the dumps since Saturday night but hopefully, we will get it fixed, get the surgery early next week. Thank you,” said Aspinall.

Knee injuries such as that could lead to some serious repercussions with the fighter losing his ability to fight for life. Aspinall is lucky that it doesn’t seem that serious however, it’s hard to say anything before the MRI and the surgery is done
