UFC Interim Heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall has issued a huge update on his potential fight with Jon Jones.

Aspinall, 32, has been chasing the Jones fight for some time, and several fans have even accused the American of being ‘scared’ to face the unbeaten British fighter.

On Monday (June 2), Aspinall appeared on the Good Guy/Bad Guy podcast alongside UFC legends Daniel Cormier and Chael Sonnen.

Cormier asked the 32-year-old if the UFC had made a decision with regards to the fight.

"Nah man, Jon is retired," Aspinall said. "What are you talking about guys?

"You guys don't follow Jon on social media? 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."

He later posted a message on social media, which read: “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."

Speaking in Thailand last week, Jones also issued a shock update on the situation and seemingly performed a U-turn on his previous stance.

A fan asked: "When are you fighting Tom?"

To which Jones replied: "I was waiting for it," before adding: "The UFC, I, and Tom, we’ve all got a lot of stuff happening behind the scenes.

"They’re one of the biggest organisations in sports. Right now, Tom and I have agreed to wait for the UFC to make their announcements.

"So, legally I can’t really talk about it."
