Later that year, he fought Tony Thompson, losing by fifth-round TKO.

Jones announced his retirement from boxing following the Thompson fight. While showing promise early in his career, he was unable to achieve world championship contention. His final record stood at 25 wins (19 by knockout) and 2 losses, with 1 draw.
