Me too [I don’t follow him].“But the guy is living his best life. He’s had a fantastic career, we all know.“We know Jon’s a religious man, so I want to say God bless him moving forward in what he does in his life and his career.“We move on. I’m the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. I’m ready to take on all comers, get this division moving again.“Us guys have been waiting around too long, the contenders are getting sick of it, everybody is getting sick of it, even the fans are getting sick of this stuff.“So Jon’s retired and it’s time that we move on.”Aspinall said Jones is ‘retired’ and he is ‘the undisputed heavyweight champion’GettyAspinall later followed up with a message for Jones on Instagram.“Want to be the first to wish Jon all the best in his retirement,” he wrote.“Let’s get this division going UFC.”Many fans had expected Jones and Aspinall to meet in UFC’s annual event at Madison Square Garden, New York, in November.However, it seems like Aspinall has other plans now.If Jones isn’t actually retired, he is likely to fight France’s Ciryl Gane for undisputed status in his next fight.Aspinall knocked out Pavlovich at UFC 295 to win the interim strapGettyThe Briton still holds the belt, despite his efforts to fight JonesGettyJones defeated Gane to win heavyweight gold for the first time in March 2023, before retaining it against Stipe Miocic last November at UFC 309 in his one and only defence of the belt.Aspinall, meanwhile, became the interim champion when he knocked out Sergei Pavlovich in 69 seconds at UFC 295 in November 2023.The Wigan native defended the status by exacting revenge on his one and only UFC loss and knocking out Curtis Blaydes at UFC Manchester in July 2024.Aspinall hasn’t fought since, but is expected to make his return imminently, having spent this year training twice a day, everyday, in the gym.
