Not only will the 46-year old future Hall of Famer continue on with his continue, but is planning to fight in bunches.Jones is confirmed to return to the ring on August 15 at Foxwoods Hotel and Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut. The bout headlines Knockout Season Two , and will air live on Fuse/Nuvo TV.An opponent has yet to be announced for the August 15 bout, but Jones and his handlers have confirmed an encore performance on August 29.“I am going to fight on Knockout on the 15th and then again on the 29th,” insists Jones (61-8, 44KOs), who is riding a seven-fight win streak as he fights deep into the twilight of his career.The stacking of fights mirrors his ring return earlier this year, when he appeared at separate club shows in North Carolina and in his hometown of Pensacola, Florida. Each of his past four contests—all coming versus nondescript opposition—have ended inside the distance, including three straight fights ending in two rounds or less.“I did two (fights) in March and I am liking how it feels so I am going to do two again in August and see how that feels,” Jones says of the planned schedule. “If I like how it feels then I will do it again maybe two or three weeks apart.”The end goal for Jones is to capture a cruiserweight title, which would make him the only fighter in history to win belts at every weight class from middleweight through heavyweight.
