Former world boxing champion Amir Khan believes that Jon Jones would ruin his legacy if he transitioned from MMA to boxing. The former world champion had high praise for Jones but urged the MMA great to stay in his own combat sport for the sake of his legacy. In an interview with Genting Casino, Kahn had this to say:
“There’s no one touching him, honestly, one of the best, and put him in a room with anyone. He’s knocking them out. He’s cleaning him out. He’s very dangerous.
