Chael Sonnen backs Jon Jones in potential boxing crossover: Some guys are just winners

With Jon Jones recently stating he would need just two years of serious boxing training to compete against the sport’s elite competitors, Chael Sonnen has expressed he feels Jones could do more than just hold his own in the boxing world.

MMA fighters showing their interest in crossing over to boxing has become a common theme of late. After Conor McGregor’s mega fight against Floyd Mayweather last year, UFC heavyweight Stipe Miocic has showed interest in fighting Anthony Joshua in a boxing ring, whilst current UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw has traded shots with Gervonta Davis on social media.
