🥊 Jones vs. Bruner Set For Oct 28 🥊

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – Terrance Jones is set to face JP Bruner on the Hackman Boxing #MassacreAtTheMarket undercard Oct. 28 at the OKC Farmers Market.

The 53-year-old Jones (14-18-1, 7 KOs) last fought in Guthrie, losing a four-round unanimous decision (40-36 x3) to Steven Crowfield. Jones is a veteran of 34 professional bouts. In his 14 pro victories, he stopped seven opponents within the scheduled distance. 🥊🌟

#MassacreAtTheMarket will be Jones’ second time competing on a Hackman Boxing card.

“To be 53 and fighting on the card with the who’s who of boxing in Oklahoma is a great honor,” Jones said. “The October 28th card is stacked. I feel honored to be featured alongside these young guys. The plan is to go out there and show everyone the old man still has something left in the tank.”

Throughout his career, which began in 1996, "The Big Game Hunter" fought in several venues throughout the United States, along with two bouts in Canada and one in Denmark. His pro debut was a six-round unanimous decision triumph over 12-fight veteran Ismail Tillis. 👊💥

“My coaches were confident in my ability and thought I had a good chance against my opponent, especially in a six-round fight,” Jones said. “They knew I was seasoned enough to take him on in my debut fight.”

Jones started his career 8-0, with five knockouts, before tasting defeat.

Bruner (0-1) came up short in his debut to Paul Gutierrez, retiring after the third round. Bruner did land some solid shots in his debut, he just appeared to run out of gas before the final round.

Jones versus Bruner is scheduled for four rounds in the super middleweight division.

Terrance “TJ” Jones, the Big Game Hunter, will be returning to the ring for the first time in three years on Saturday, August 19 at the Logan County Fairgrounds in Guthrie. At 53 years old, Jones was forced into retirement by the COVID-19 pandemic, but has decided to return for one more year of competition before hanging up his gloves for good.

As a former top ranked super WBB middleweight boxer, Jones has racked up fourteen knockouts, and also boasts a 15-0 record as a Muay Thai fighter.

He’ll be taking on the younger Steven Crowfield as a warm-up to a fight in Thailand later this year. Jones, who trains at the Western Avenue boxing Gym in Oklahoma City, has resided in thirteen different countries in his combat sports career. Though his opponent has the advantage of youth, Jones is confident that his intense training and time-tested fight strategy will give him the edge later this month.

“I'm what they call an attrition-type fighter,” Jones said. “I rely on my conditioning and seek to wear my opponents down before stopping them. Steven is a young man that I have both trained and trained with in the past. I'm expecting him to be overconfident knowing that I’m coming off a three year layoff. It should be a good fight for as long as it goes–I'm looking to stop him.”

Despite Jones’s long, successful career, Oklahoma City remains his home base.

“Me and (owner)Travis Hoffman go waaaaay back, we have been friends for over fifteen years and are both in recovery,” Jones said. “Western Ave Boxing Gym is my gym, it has been since its inception. I've lived, literally, all around the world but this is home. I'm looking to show my fans/people that age is nothing but a number and never put a limit on what you can accomplish no matter what life throws your way. We do recover and the human spirit is Indomitable.
