Jones then participated in 4 more fights before moving to Toronto in order to gain experience, where he achieved 3 winning bouts including a 3rd-round KO against Tony Collier.
On 14 April 1995, Jones won the World Boxing Organization (WBO)'s Intercontinental title against Damien Denny, earning him the "KO of the year award".
[citation needed] The plan was for Jones to defend his WBO title against Bronco Banyon McKart of Bob Arum's Top Rank promotions.
In late 2014, it came to light via social media that Jones had never received his actual title belt from the World Boxing Organization.
Jones was finally awarded his belt in Doncaster at an event staged by former trainer Ian Allcock and John Sheppard on 10 July 2015.
