Roy Jones Jr.

Long faded 46 year old legend Roy Jones Jr, is continuing in his quest to win an elusive cruiserweight world title, going on record to say he will pursue Brits Ovil McKenzie OR Enzo Maccarinelli in pursuit of that aim.

Last week the news broke that Jones was seeking to fight Welsh former champion “Big Mac” in his new second home – Russia, although it was unclear how that fight would lead to a world title given Maccarinelli no longer holds one and hasn’t for many years – since being destroyed by David Haye in their massive 2008 unification. The Welshman fights a TBA next week in Newport over 10 rounds, and needs a win according to Warrior Promotions in order to secure any potential fight with Jones down the line.

Long faded former P4P star Roy Jones Jr has been spending a lot of time glad-handing and hob-nobbing in Russia lately, ostensibly on a ‘building bridges’ mission to promote better sporting ties with the US, the culmination of which has seen him granted citizenship at the hand of President, Vladimir Putin.

The news was revealed, in Russian, on the official Kremlin website this weekend, and has been independently confirmed by Jones himself, who said the following to Russian news agency, R-Sport.

It would appear that long faded 46 year old future Hall of Fame inductee Roy Jones Jr, will NOT be fighting in the UK as planned, after he failed to board a plane to England ahead of next Saturday’s scheduled fight against local 42 year old, Tony Moran, that was to take place in Liverpool.

Jones is chasing an elusive cruiserweight title, the only division from middleweight thru heavyweight that he hasn’t won a world honour, and according to Stephen Vaughan, who was promoting the Malta Boxing Commission sanctioned Liverpool event, Jones has been promised the shot he wants.

Veteran former four weight world titlist Roy Jones Jr, who continues to fight on at 46 in the quest of an elusive title at cruiserweight, has had his fight this Saturday on the tiny Dutch Island of Philipsberg Sint Maarten in the Caribbean postponed through severe weather concerns.

It would seem to many that Mother Nature is trying to tell the long faded former champ something, although the fight with fellow old timer and former 175 lb world title challenger Danny Santiago has unfortunately not been cancelled, and will be re-arranged for a later date.

It appears that long faded 46 year old legend Roy Jones Jr (62-8, 45ko) has still not given up on his dream of capturing an elusive cruiserweight world title, and has bizarrely now turned his attentions to new WBO champion Krzysztof Glowacki in a bid to achieve this seemingly impossible feat.

Jones had been publicly chasing a bout with long-time former champ Marco Huck, who Glowacki stunned 11 days ago to be crowned champion, and seems to be under the impression that capturing honours in the 200lb division is a realistic proposition should the Polish fighter agree to the bout.

Faded 46 year old modern great and 4 division world titlist Roy Jones Jr continues in his quest to try and somehow maneuver himself into position to challenge for an elusive cruiserweight world title when he fights Eric Watkins (12-9-2, 5ko) as part of the Knockout Season 2 finale, live on NUVOtv in the States.

Jones has been on record lately insisting that he would like to capture the 5th divisional world honour and had been keen on a challenge to the now former WBO champion Marco Huck, who sensationally dropped his title this weekend in a stunning upset at the hands of little known Pole Krzsytof Glowacki.
