The 28-year-old and Jones shared some light and funny moments on camera. One was when ‘Bones’ joked about not throwing a punch toward Davis during training because of the latter’s powerful counterpunches. “I’ll kick in front of you, (but) I ain’t throwing that one punch in front of you”, Jones said.
