Eva Jones

Eva Jones-Young (born July 14, 1964), better known as Eva Jones, is a former female boxer from the United States. Her professional boxing license number was IN046360. She was born in South Bend, Indiana, and her nickname is "Sweet Magic".

Jones was known around the world of women's boxing for beating some of the best fighters of her time. She was a world champion in the Bantamweight division.

On November 9, 1996, Jones began her professional boxing career, beating Deirdre Rodriguez by a four-round split decision in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. On March 3, 1997, she beat Anissa Zamarron by a four-round unanimous decision in Houston, Texas.

In her fifth fight, August 14 of 1997, she suffered her first professional defeat, when she boxed Para Draine at Worley, Idaho, losing a four-round unanimous decision. But she rebounded from that loss with a first-round knockout, which was also her first career knockout victory, against top prospect Kim Jeffryes , on September 9.

Jones won three more bouts, including Delia Gonzalez on October 24, 1997, whom Jones defeated in Tula, Missisippi , by a unanimous six-round decision. Then on January 10, 1998 she faced IBA world Bantamweight champion Theresa Arnold for the vacant IWBF world Bantamweight title. Jones became a world champion and, at the same time, the only person to defeat Arnold as a professional, with a seventh-round knockout win in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

On March 24, 1998, she claimed the WIBF world Bantamweight title with a fourth-round knockout of Cheryll Robinson . After winning a non-title bout, she and Draine had a rematch, on November 12 of that year, in Kansas City, and Jones was able to avenge her first defeat, handing Draine an eight-round decision loss in another non-title bout.

To defend her WIBF title, Jones travelled to St. Thomas, in the United States Virgin Islands, where she lost the title to Margaret Sidoroff , by a ten-round split decision, on February 26, 1999.

Immediately after, she was given a second chance at becoming world Bantamweight champion, when she boxed "Downtown Leona Brown" for Brown's IFBA world Bantamweight championship, on June 11 of that same year. Jones became world Bantamweight champion for the second time, when she defeated Brown by a ten-round decision, in Bossier City, Louisiana.

On July 23, she beat Jamilia Lawrence by decision in a non-title fight, but on February 5, 2000, she lost to Michele Aboro by a tenth-round knockout in Germany for the WIBF's vacant world Super Bantamweight fight, in what has been her last fight.

Jones has a record of 13 wins, 3 losses and 1 draw (tie), with 5 wins by knockout.
