MMA star Jon Jones is partnering with Mike Perry.
Dirty Boxing Championship revealed on Friday that Jon Jones, the UFC heavyweight champion and former light heavyweight champion, has become a co-owner of the organization. TMZ initially reported this news.
Jones stated, “I was immediately impressed by Dirty Boxing. I believe it will become a major force in combat sports, and I`m excited to be a part of it.”
This move extends Jones` collaboration with his managers, Malki and Abe Kawa, who co-founded Dirty Boxing with Perry in 2024. Dirty Boxing rules include 5-ounce gloves, elbows, and limited ground strikes.
Dirty Boxing`s next event is on Saturday, featuring Yoel Romero vs. Ras Hylton in the main event and Andrei Arlovski vs. Terrance Hodges in the co-main event.
Jones is expected to attend the event in Miami.
Jones` future in the UFC is uncertain as fans await news on a potential fight with interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall. Jones has downplayed Aspinall`s challenge and has shown more interest in fighting Alex Pereira.
