Unbeaten Mike Jones, of Philadelphia, PA, and Hector Munoz, of Albuquerque, NM, will be fighting for two championship belts when they collide in a scheduled 10-round welterweight contest this Saturday evening, April 17, at the 10,000-seat Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.

Not only will Jones’ North American Boxing Association (NABA) title be at stake, but the North American Boxing Organization (NABO) also will recognize the winner as its champion. The NABO championship currently is vacant.

Jones, 26, scored the biggest win of his career on February 27 when he earned a unanimous 10-round decision over former world-title challenger Henry Bruseles, of Gurabo, Puerto Rico, in front of a standing-room-only crowd in the Grand Ballroom of Bally’s Atlantic City.

A professional since 2005, Jones is 20-0, 16 K0s. He is ranked No. 6 by the World Boxing Association (WBA), No. 10 by the International Boxing Federation (IBF), No. 11 by the World Boxing Organization (WBO) and No. 17 by the World Boxing Council (WBC). Read more
