Jon Jones retains former Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer as new ‘advisor’ for his fight career

Jon Jones has found new representation as he continues to negotiate with the UFC on his next fight.

The former light heavyweight champion has retained former Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer as his new advisor after previously working with First Round Management, a high-profile agency led by brother tandem Malki and Abe Kawa.

“I have retained Richard Schaefer as my advisor,” Jones wrote in a statement released on Twitter. “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.
