Despite having all the looks of a shot fighter, way past his prime, Roy Jones Jr. is still getting championship looks.
Jones, a former four-division titleholder, struggled to a sixth-round knockout of club fighter Eric Watkins on Aug. 16 in a cruiserweight bout at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut, is looking for a title fight in the coming months.
Jones is calling out newly crowned cruiserweight world titleholder Krzysztof Glowacki per ESPN.com.
Jones (62-8, 45 KOs) had hoped for a much-discussed title shot against Marco Huck, but Glowacki crusched Huck and that dream for Jones.
So Jones instead has turned his attention to a fight with Glowacki (25-0, 16 KOs), 29, of Poland.
“Glowacki already got the phone call that he got what I want,” Jones said. “He already got the call. I made the call immediately that night. You beat (Huck). I want that. That’s mine. You took it from him — now I got to get it from you.”
Jones will fight this Saturday night, and then again on September 12.
