Isiah Jones, who appeared on the Canelo Alvarez vs. Callum Smith undercard in 2020, was shot and killed in Detroit. He was just 28 years old.

NYFights reported that Jones’ brother, Timothy Lyman, is accused of killing Jones. That outlet further reported that the incident was allegedly prompted by a squabble over $50.
