American boxer Jones, 55, expressed his gratitude on X in a post, saying he was “thankful” that he spent the last night with his son DeAndre.
According to an official, DeAndre is 32 years old.
“Though I understand that many individuals are going through difficult situations at the moment, nothing justifies ending one’s own life. “God bestows it, and He alone ought to take it away,” stated Jones, the multiple world champion in four different weight classes.
He thanked the public for their “love and support” and requested privacy.
Tony Bellew, a former professional boxer, was among those who offered condolences in the post’s comments section, writing: “RIP.”
Star of Dragon’s Den and podcaster Steven Bartlett continued, saying, “I’m really sad for your loss. My love is being sent to your entire family.
When Jones stopped John Ruiz in 2003 to win the WBA title, he made boxing history by becoming the first middleweight champion to capture the heavyweight belt in 106 years and only the second light heavyweight champion to do it.
