Jon Jones Co-Owns Dirty Boxing Championship

UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones has expanded his career by becoming a co-owner of Dirty Boxing Championship (DBX), a promotion founded by Mike Perry and Jones' longtime managers, Abe and Malki Kawa. Jones, who is awaiting his next UFC fight against Tom Aspinall, is strategically investing in this new venture, which combines traditional boxing with MMA elements. The promotion will hold its first official event, DBX 1, in Miami, featuring former UFC stars Yoel Romero and Andrei Arlovski. Despite Jones' new business commitment, the anticipated title unification bout with Aspinall is delayed, as Jones has requested additional preparation time, potentially pushing the fight to later in the year. This delay has sparked criticism from fans and fellow fighters, who accuse Jones of avoiding the fight. Nevertheless, Jones remains committed to DBX, believing it to be a significant player in the combat sports industry.
