Nate Jones is a huge part of boxing history. Not only is he one of the co-trainers for Floyd Mayweather, Jr., he stands as the only native Chicago boxer to ever take the podium in the history of the Olympic Games (Atlanta 1996). Jones captured the NABA Heavyweight Title in 2000 and fought for the WBO/NABO Heavyweight Title in 2002.
Subsequent to his WBO/NABO Championship bout with Lamon Brewster, medical doctors diagnosed Jones with diminished reflexes and speech, forcing him to retire as a boxer.
Currently, Jones serves as a co-trainer to Floyd Mayweather, Jr., his friend from the U.S. Olympic Games. He was recently seen in Showtime’s “Inside Mayweather vs Pacquiao” training Floyd and discussing their friendship and Olympic experiences together.
Along with the spotlight in the middle of major happenings in boxing itself, Jones is in much demand for his unique insight into the world of pugilism…and life. Upcoming projects include a book entitled, “Climbing” authored and edited by Jerry Doby, Editor-in-Chief of The Hype Magazine; A training DVD “Nate Jones: The Training of a Champion.”
On a grander scale, Jones is in motion to create the Nate Jones Complex Chicago. A part of the Nate Jones Foundation’s non-profit network, the complex will house “edutainment” programs such as a fully functional Audio/Visual studio, boxing gym and program, basketball court, mentoring and tutoring programs, etc. “To whom much is given, much is required” and Jones is taking that charge very seriously. He’s joined by government officials and celebrities in his efforts to bring the “Complex” to life.
