Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Tom Aspinall has had two eye surgeries since his fight with Ciryl Gane.
The finding
What the evidence shows
There's truth here, but the count is short. Aspinall did need surgery after Gane's eye pokes, but by mid-2026 he'd had three total procedures, one on his left eye and two on his right, not two.
