So, Jones turned to Instagram, sharing the pictures with his devoted followers alongside the boxing legends. Who are the boxing legends? Manny Pacquiao, Chris Eubank Jr. and Evander Holyfield. If that wasn’t enough, he shared snaps with stars of the MMA world as well  – Junior Dos Santos and Chuck Liddell. Moreover, internet personalities like Khaby Lame and Mutah Napoleon Beale appeared in the pictures with Jones. As the boxing world discovered the post on Instagram, they were left with profound admiration.
