Jon Jones Becomes Co-Owner of Dirty Boxing Championship Ahead of DBX1 Debut

The UFC heavyweight champion's business move coincides with ongoing uncertainty about his next title defense against Tom Aspinall.

Jon Jones has officially joined Dirty Boxing Championship as a co-owner, partnering with founder Mike Perry and his longtime managers, Malki and Abe Kawa.
The first official Dirty Boxing Championship event, DBX1, is scheduled to take place tomorrow in Miami, featuring fighters like Yoel Romero and Andrei Arlovski.
Dirty Boxing Championship differentiates itself with unconventional rules, allowing techniques such as elbows, spinning back fists, and standing ground and pound.
Jones's UFC career remains in limbo, with no official announcement of a title unification bout against interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall.
Jones has expressed reluctance to fight Aspinall without significant financial incentives, reflecting broader tensions in UFC fighter pay negotiations.
