The heavyweight division’s latest saga has taken an unexpectedly hilarious turn. While championship disputes usually involve heated exchanges and intense face-offs, Tom Aspinall has chosen a more creative path to express his frustrations with Jon Jones. The British heavyweight’s latest post move proves that sometimes the best shots are fired with a sense of humor.
Fresh off his spectacular victory against Curtis Blaydes, Aspinall has persistently sought a unification bout with Jones. However, Jones’ apparent reluctance to engage has sparked widespread speculation about him “ducking” the matchup. In a brilliant display of wit, Aspinall decided to take this narrative to an entirely new level.
He bought a duck toy from the store for his dog. The toy makes a quacking sound when it’s squished. The irony of this is not lost on fight fans, as they see what he actually meant by it. The timing of Aspinall’s playful jab couldn’t be more perfect, coming right after Jones’ recent interview, in which he dismissed Aspinall.
It’s worth noting that while Jon Jones has been recovering from injury, Aspinall has been busy collecting knockouts. The contrast between Jones’ severe dismissal and Aspinall’s lighthearted response showcases the changing face of fighter promotion in the social media age.
