Jon Jones not interested in fighting Tom Aspinall

Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall appears to be off the chart, with Jones hinting at potential retirement and asking Aspinall recently to find another opponent. Meanwhile, Aspinall has declared that Jones is retired and he has a date and venue for his next fight, which will be announced soon.

Recently, after news surfaced that Francis Ngannou is eyeing a UFC return, Jones took to X to show interest in a potential superfight with 'The Predator,' labeling it as "a clash of champions."

Jones wrote:

"I'm hearing Francis Ngannou is still interested… now we’re talking. That's a real super fight. A clash of champions, not just hype. He held the UFC belt, I've defended mine for over a decade. Two kings from different roads. Not just one legend facing a mouth that’s hot right now, but two real legacies colliding. That’s the kind of fight that actually adds something special to my story. 👑🔥 At least from my point of view."
