Jon Jones brings on former Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer as advisor

Jon Jones has gone the boxing route for his newest representation.

Exactly one month after parting ways with First Round Management, headed by Malki Kawa, the former UFC light heavyweight champion has retained the services of former Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer in an advisory role.

“I have retained Richard Schaefer as my advisor,” Jones wrote on social media. “Richard has been in the combat sports space for over 20 years and has put together some of the biggest pay-per-view events over that period. The likes of [Floyd] Mayweather, [Oscar] De La Hoya, Canelo [Alvarez], [Bernard] Hopkins, [Marco Antonio] Barrera and [Juan Manuel] Marquez have headlined exciting events that Richard has promoted and produced.
