There are parts of an athlete’s journey that the public never sees.
For the last three years, Jon has been dealing with an ongoing injury. In January 2026, things took a significant turn for the worse. Through his last two fight camps, Jon was essentially unable to use his left arm in training. He continued to prepare, adapt, and find a way forward.
Very few people watching those fights knew what was happening behind the scenes or what it took for Jon just to make it to fight night.
This Thursday, Jon will undergo surgery to finally address an injury he has been battling for years.
For someone who is accustomed to training upwards of six hours a day, the road ahead will be challenging in ways that go far beyond the physical recovery. Surgery is only the first step. Then we rebuild toward the athlete we all know Jon to be.
For now, and at least the next 6 months fighting takes a back seat.
Please keep Jon in your thoughts this Thursday as he heads into surgery and begins this next chapter.
Jon is no where near done with his career and we look forward to seeing him back in the ring as soon as he is able. We’re with you every step of the way, Champ. 🥊❤️🩹
