Oshae jones next fight
An Olympic medal of any sort is usually a ticket to professional gold. Unfortunately, 2020 U.S. Olympic bronze medalist Oshae Jones is still waiting for that check to come in.
"I really didn't know what to expect," Jones said when asked if her pro career has gone as expected.
"I just thought the pay for women would be better. That's the most shocking thing for me since we do the same thing as the men. The majority of women are making more money being on the USA team than being professional. But it's getting better over time."
Maybe that has something to do with the Katie Taylor-Amanda Serrano trilogy and its elevation of women's boxing, but there's also the reality that Jones (8-0, 3 KOs) has the IBF and IBO junior middleweight world titles in her possession heading into Friday night's championship defense against Elia Carranza (11-1, 3 KOs) of Miami, Florida.
