Aspinall has not confirmed a July fight in Manchester

Tom Aspinall, the UFC's interim heavyweight champion, reacted to information that he will fight in the main event of the tournament, which takes place in Manchester in July.

"I can neither confirm nor deny it, because I'm going to get scolded either way. Let's just say there are persistent rumors and I'm currently in talks with the UFC about what's going to happen and what my next move will be. I can not announce anything yet, but we are moving in the right direction", - stated the fighter.

Recall, earlier it was reported that the next opponent of Aspinall will be the fifth number of the heavyweight ranking Curtis Blades.
