I wish someone in the Roy Jones Jr. camp will step up and tell him that he’s WASHED.
Truthfully we know exactly what this is and Roy needs to just stop it. He’s just looking for another quick money grab. What’s shocking to me is that Roy is currently on a 3 fight winning streak. He’s fought a bunch of nobodies but one of those nobodies actually had a title so now Roy Jones Jr. actually holds the WBU Cruiserweight title.
Here’s what Jones had to say about his opponent:
“I know he’ll give it all he got, which is what I want from any opponent,” Jones said. “I want to go out and do my thing and take what I’ve been doing in the gym to the boxing ring.”
When asked if he should retire Jones said this,
“You do think about it but it’s hard to leave when you know you still got it. I know I still got it,” he said. “I’m very much looking forward to [going to Latvia].”
and even worse than that delusional Roy Jones statement is the delusional promoters, KP Promotions, that originally wanted Jones to fight James Toney in a rematch of their fight 20 years ago. Of course Roy had something to say about that idea.
“I’m not doing that. For what reason? What do I gain from that? What am I gaining from that fight,” Jones said. “I already beat him and beating him again does nothing for me. Besides, I want to fight for the cruiserweight title. I ain’t interested in going up to heavyweight again.”
This is a mockery to the sport of boxing. Roy needs to be content being an announcer and hang up his gloves.
