Tom Aspinall is bored with speaking a couple of struggle with Jon Jones.
Ever since Aspinall scored a 69-second KO over Sergei Pavlovich in November 2023 to say the interim heavyweight title, he’s been lobbying for a unification conflict with undisputed titleholder Jon Jones. 16 months later and we’re seemingly no nearer to seeing that struggle occur then we had been all the way in which again at UFC 295.
And albeit, Aspinall is getting bored with reply questions on it.
“I’ve had enough talking about it, mate,” Aspinall informed Jamal Niaz. “I’m honestly bored of it. We’ll see what happens… I’m ready to fight whenever they tell me, so just let me know, and I’ll be there.”
If Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall Does Occur, it’ll seemingly be a part of this 12 months’s worldwide struggle week festivities
After getting injured, Jones would take greater than a 12 months to lastly make his first heavyweight title protection, although it wouldn’t come in opposition to Aspinall. As an alternative, ‘Bones’ would meet former two-time titleholder Stipe Miocic in a struggle that was extra about legacy than UFC gold.
As anticipated, Jones made comparatively straightforward work of Miocic, scoring a third-round TKO at UFC 309.
Instantly after the struggle, all eyes turned to a struggle between Jones and Aspinall, however right here we’re properly into 2025 and no official announcement has been made. Dana White has remained adamant that ‘Bones’ will likely be again in motion this summer time, however Aspinall’s frustration is main many to imagine that Jones is straight-up refusing to struggle him.
If Jones does the truth is return this summer time, it’ll seemingly be at UFC 317 when the promotion celebrates its thirteenth annual Worldwide Struggle Week in Las Vegas.
