Jones is not only a part of the action but also sharing his thoughts on the fights he'd like to see in 2025. He firmly stated, "That's it. I don't want to see Canelo fight anyone else." This shows his confidence in Canelo's current path.
Adding to the excitement, Jones suggested, "You know what, to be honest with you, I'd like to see Loma come back down and they meet to see what Loma can do with it." Loma, with his good technique, fighting against opponents closer to his size like Inoue, presents a great matchup. Both Loma and Inoue are fighters who haven't always been given their due chance, and a fight between them in the heavyweight division would be an awesome sight.
Gervonta Davis vs. Shakur Stevenson is another fight on Jones' list. These two talented fighters would bring a lot of energy to the ring.
Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua is a highly anticipated clash. Both Fury and Joshua are heavyweight giants with their own strengths and fan bases. A fight between them would be a showdown of the titans.
Anthony Joshua vs. Deontay Wilder is also on the list. These two powerful fighters would bring a lot of power and excitement to the ring.
Terence Crawford vs. either Jaron Ennis, Sebastian Fundora, Tim Tzsyu, or Jermell and Jermall Charlo would add another layer of excitement to the boxing world. Crawford's skills combined with these opponents would make for some thrilling battles.
Most of these big-money fights would likely require the involvement of Turki Alalshikh, chairman of the General Entertainment Authority in Saudi Arabia. Jones believes, "I think it will be sustainable moving forward. I like their involvement because it allows these guys an opportunity to take the fights that people want to see, and they are getting paid for it properly. You just have to be ready for it, because you don't want to jump in too early because of the money and get beat."
