But after going the distance in his debut bout, Simpson is ready to do it all over again and settle the score with Aarons.

He said: “I think Danny knows that I tried to jump in last minute.

“Maybe I’ll get the chance to have it again with a full camp and learn to box a bit more. I’d love to come back and have the opportunity.”

Aarons added: “Nothing but respect for Simpson, a draw it is what it is. We’ll run it back.”

In the build up to the Misfits Boxing pay-per-view, the two made a wager with Simpson putting his Prem winners medal on the line.

And Aarons agreed to put up his placard earned for one million subscribers on YouTube.

The pace of the fight was frantic from the get-go as both came out swinging.

Aarons looked to have Simpson in trouble before the former footballer found his feet and returned fire.

Simpson landed some telling jabs and had his opponent bloodied from the nose.

Both landed wild shots and fought till the end with the judges unable to split them.

They keep their prized possessions and unbeaten boxing record intact.
