Champion Announce Tom Aspinall Partnership With New HEAVYWEIGHT Collection
Author: Mark Haddon | Wednesday 28th May 2025
Champion has announced a long-term partnership with UFC Heavyweight Champion Tom Aspinall, debuting with the launch of the HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION collection. This marks a strategic move by Champion to deepen its presence in the world of combat sports, aligning its century-old heritage in athletic apparel with one of MMA’s most prominent rising figures.
The collection blends Champion’s technical sportswear roots with lifestyle-forward design. Built on the brand’s iconic Reverse Weave construction, the garments feature heavyweight fabrics, functional detailing, and tonal colour palettes, designed for both performance and everyday wear. The result is a modern interpretation of Champion’s legacy—durable, versatile, and fighter-inspired.
Central to the range is the inclusion of the 00.02.02 timestamp, referencing the impressively brief average fight time of Aspinall’s professional bouts. This detail reinforces the collection’s connection to the fighter’s power, precision, and efficiency. Items include core pieces like hoodies, tees, and joggers that reflect a champion’s mindset while remaining accessible to a broad audience.
Champion and Aspinall have worked closely to ensure authenticity throughout the capsule. Aspinall’s personal input is visible across the collection, and the partnership goes beyond lifestyle apparel. Later this year, Champion will unveil a line of performance training gear, developed using insights from Aspinall and his team—further bridging the gap between elite sport and consumer product.
This collaboration not only highlights Champion’s ongoing evolution but positions Tom Aspinall as a key ambassador in bringing MMA closer to mainstream audiences. The HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION collection is available now at Championstore.com.
