JON JONES has taken to social media following reports that his eagerly anticipated showdown with Tom Aspinall has been all "agreed".

An iconic heavyweight title unification bout between the interim and undisputed champions has been in the works since last November.

The highly anticipated showdown between heavyweight icons Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall is a step closer to coming to fruition after the former thanked Donald Trump for a gift.

An iconic heavyweight title unification bout between the interim and undisputed champions has been in the works since last November.

Jones' public calls to be paid "f***k you money" for the fight seemingly put it in major doubt but the UFC brass are understood to have met his demands.

Former three-time UFC title challenger Chael Sonnen claimed this week that the fight was a done deal, with the date having been finalised.

And Hall of Famer Jones took to his social media shortly after Sonnen's revelation, although he didn't speak about fighting.

The 37-year-old showed off a Presidential challenge coin that he was gifted by the 45th President of the United States.

He said: "Oh, I love this, guys. Albuquerque, New Mexico. Some of the most beautiful skies and beautiful views.

"Speaking about beauty, I want to give a shoutout to our 45th and 47th President of the United States, Mr. Donald Trump, for giving me this beautiful challenge coin.

"I've had the privilege to meet some pretty amazing American people and I've got these coins for some of our country's best.

"But this one has the top of them all from the President Himself to my mailbox. A great honour.

"Thank you for this beautiful gift, it will be mounted in the house."

However, Sonnen later appeared to backtrack on his claim that Aspinall will next face Jones in a title unification bout.

Instead, he claimed that ‘The British Bulldog’ will compete in a second interim title defence - this time against Ciryl Gane.

Aspinall, 32, teased an imminent fight announcement last weekend, saying in a video on his YouTube channel: “I know everyone wants fight news.

"But I do know what’s happening now.

“I have been sworn to secrecy for a little bit, so stay tuned.

"But there will be news coming, hopefully very soon.”

MMA fans are starting to become doubtful that the fight will happen, despite the guarantee from UFC supremo Dana White that it will come to fruition.

He said late last year: " I’ll say 100 per cent [that it happens in 2025].

“100 per cent. I think it’s probably the biggest fight in heavyweight history.

"And it’s a massive in the history of the company, too. It’s a big fight.”

Former pound-for-pound king Jones, 35, hasn't stepped foot in the octagon since his brutal spinning-back kick stoppage of Stipe Miocic at UFC 249 in New York last November.

Wigan warrior Aspinall, 33, has been on the sidelines since his 60-second destruction of Curtis Blaydes in their rematch at UFC London in July.
