Fighting Chance Promotions: BOOM BOOM LOOKING TO MAKE A STATEMENT

‘Boom Boom’ Jones is out to impress in his 3rd professional fight and doesn’t plan on leaving it to the judges.

Having held numerous belts in the North East’s best MMA promotions, coupled with an extensive amateur boxing background and an unbeaten professional boxing record, it’s easy to forget that Leam Lane’s ‘Boom Boom’ Jones is only 26 years old.

This vast experience was apparent in Jones’ first two professional boxing bouts under Fighting Chance, with the boxer keeping composed throughout, picking his shots perfectly and earning two comfortable and impressive victories over much more experienced opponents.

Hailing from Gateshead and spending much of his amateur career at Leam Lane ABC and Birtley Boxing Club, Jamie Jones looks to continue his fine form against the London-born Scott Hillman.

Hillman has never been stopped in his professional career, and you’d be wrong to assume that this is down to his choice of opponent. Another one of Fighting Chances unbeaten prospects Danny Wall met a tough Hillman in his debut, and although came away with the win, it was only after a hard-fought battle.

Jones however believes his ever popular aggressive fighting style will be the difference against Hillman. Jones’ debut against Aaron Robinson showed a boxer not scared to control the tempo of the fight, and although ‘Boom Boom’ didn’t get the stoppage, his offensive style and control of the ring meant the end of the fight never looked too far away.

Two fights in and with Jones rapidly finding his feet in the pro-ranks, the Gateshead local feels now is his time. He will be looking not only to overpower Hillman throughout the bout, but to get the first stoppage of his professional career and begin his march towards local rivalries and area titles.
