ORLANDO, Fla. — Nothing in Omari Jones’ life is coincidence. Everything is planned, and he puts in the work.

In 2021, Jones predicted his future.

“In the next three years, you’ll see me in the 2024 Olympics, then I will take over the pros and turn professional," Jones said in The Documentary Of Omari Jones: Dollar And A Dream.

Jones is a man of his word.

The 22-year-old won a bronze medal at the Paris Olympics in August, and now he is preparing for his first professional fight against Alessio Mastronunzio (14-5, 4 KO), who is a seasoned vet with 19 fights under his belt.

"I feel like I've been at the highest stage at the 2024 Olympic Games," said Jones. "So, I fought guys older than me with a lot of experience. So, I feel like this is what I'm born for, and born to do."

Since winning the bronze, Jones has been preparing for this moment.

His trainer, Jason Galarza, has been right by his side.

"Just read and I seen videos about this mentality, the Kobe's and Tiger Woods and stuff," explains Galarza. "This man's focus, he's locked in. And I tell him every day, you know, he was born to do this. You know, this is something he was born to do."

Even from a young age, Omari's dad, Karl Jones, says the boxer has had this mentality.

"Even in class, he's had to talk to his teachers to ask the kids in the back to be quiet. I'm trying to learn something," said Karl Jones. "So he's just so focused on every everything he does."

Not to add any more pressure, but the welterweight will be making his debut in his home city, Orlando.

"It's the city that's supported me for the Olympic Games, tuned in early mornings, late nights," said Jones. "So, I knew they was gonna come out, and I'm just ready to put on a great performance for them."

Just a kid from Orlando, trying to make his dreams a reality.
