Claressa Shields: ‘Heavyweight boxing, that’s what I see’ Jon Jones transitioning to

Jon Jones is a really well-rounded MMA fighter, which has helped him dominate foes of different styles and stay at the top of the light heavyweight division for a decade now.

That being said, his boxing hasn’t been his biggest strength, and it’s arguably the area where he can most improve on. Interestingly enough, Claressa Shields thinks he can do well enough to transition to heavyweight boxing.

The two-time Olympic gold medalist and three-division boxing champion has been training with Jones ahead of her MMA debut, and she has high praise for the former UFC champion’s skills and potential.
