National Golden Gloves Heavyweight Champion (1994, 1995)
Professional career
Jones began his career undefeated in 17 fights over opponents. In his first test against Friday Ahunanya, Jones lost a split decision. After two victories over limited foes, Jones stepped up against future titlist Lamon Brewster, who defeated Jones by TKO in round 3. Shortly after the loss, Jones retired after doctors diagnosed him with diminished reflexes and speech.
Jones appeared on an episode of HBO's Mayweather-Hatton 24/7 series as an assistant trainer to Floyd Mayweather Jr. Mayweather, a friend of Jones from the U.S. Olympic Team, offered Jones a job as an assistant. He was again seen in Showtime's 'Inside Mayweather vs Pacquiao' training Floyd and giving insight to their friendship and time in the olympics together. Nate is now an established member of TMT (The Money Team) and is said to be one of Mayweathers strategists'.
