About Oshae Jones

Born 1998. Oshae Jones is an American boxer.

Oshae Jones (born March 1, 1998) is an American professional boxer. She has held the IBF and IBO female super-welterweight titles since November 2024. As an amateur, Jones won the bronze medal in the women's welterweight event at the 2020 Summer Olympics

Professional career Jones won the IBF and IBO female super-welterweight titles by defeating defending champion Femke Hermans by split decision in Atlanta on 22 November 2024.

She made the first defense of her titles against Elia Carranza at The Tabernacle in Atlanta, Georgia, on 25 July 2025, winning by split decision.

In January 2026, Jones signed with Most Valuable Promotions (MVP).

Jones faced a rematch against Elia Carranza at Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida, on 13 June 2026. The fight ended in a split draw with one judge scoring it 96–94 in her favour, one having it 94–96 for her opponent and the third ruling it a 95–95 tie.

Arrest and lawsuit In July 31, 2022, Jones was arrested near her home in Toledo, Ohio around 4 AM. The police claimed that they broke up "a large scene of people participating in a course of disorderly conduct", and that Jones had failed to obey their orders; during the arrest, one of the officers, Ashlyn Pluff, punched Jones in the back of the head while Jones was being held by other officers with her hands held behind her back. Jones was charged with resisting arrest, obstructing official business and failure to disperse, pleading not guilty to all charges.

Jones claimed that she had nothing to do with the initial disorderly conduct for which the police was called, and was asleep in her home when she was woken up by an officer trying to kick her door open. She further claims that after answering the door, she asked to know the officer's badge number, after which she was arrested and punched. Officers' body camera footage shows Jones asking officers' badge numbers, her arrest, and the strike she receives from Pluff.

Personal life Her younger brother, Otha Jones III, is also a boxer.
