Eva Jones

Eva Jones-Young (b.orn July 14, 1964, in South Bend, Indiana), better known as Eva Jones or under her nickname Sweet Magic, is a former female boxer from the United States. 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 from 1998 to 1999. Her professional boxing license number was IN046360.

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, 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, Mississippi 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, 1998 in Kansas City, Missouri, and Jones avenged her defeat, handing Draine an eight-round decision loss in another non-title bout.
