Roy Jones Jr. Fighting For 2nd Time This Month

BOXING: Roy Jones Jr. vs Felix Trinidad

Roy Jones Jr. has been tearing up the has been circuit as of late and he has now announced that he’ll fight again this Saturday on only 3 weeks rest.

“I want to stay active and continue on my path towards a fight with Marco Huck later this year,” Jones said. “I’ve been working on some different things and the fights I’ve been doing are helping me hone these. I haven’t fought here in Pensacola for six years and I really am looking forward to seeing all my fans Saturday night. Pensacola in the house!”

The head of Jones’ promotional company spoke on how the fight came about:

“Roy just fought three weeks ago in North Carolina, and we were already planning one of our Island Fights mixed cards for (Saturday),” said John Wirt, CEO of Jones’ Square Ring Promotions.

“Roy said he wanted to fight on it too, since it was already a mixed boxing and MMA show, and so we made it happen. We have a huge card of local boxers and MMA fighters and with Roy topping the bill, Pensacola is going have a chance to see not only a great evening of fights, but also their hometown legend.”

Let’s hope Jones can pocket some of this money and build enough confidence to think he can step back into the ring with a real boxer. IT’d be funny to see Jones KO’d again… just one more for the road.
