If Jon Jones comes away victorious tonight against Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 165, the inevitable question that will be asked is what's, or rather, who's next for the 26-year-old fighter. Luckily, we may not need to wait that long for an answer. In an interview with FOX 11's James Koh, Bones discussed a possible alternative to moving up to the heavyweight class of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
“The thought of boxing has become way more real to me and it’s something I may be entertaining in the future, for sure,” Jones told Koh.
“[I'd like to fight] one of the Klitschko brothers,” said Jones, who believes he could compete with them. “You surround yourself with the right people and have a good healthy camp, I don’t see why it wouldn’t be possible for me to compete with those guys. You never know, maybe I’ll be able to come away with a victory against one of those guys.”
What's with all of these mixed martial artists trying to take on boxers? Would you check out Jones facing someone like Wladimir Klitschko in the near future? Check out the video of the interview below.
