Jones, who has reeled off 7 victories in a row, will headline Knockout Season 2’s live fight card at the Foxwoods Hotel and Casino and will be broadcast live on Fuse/NuvoTV. Jones also served as the host of Knockout’s second season. The 46-hear-old Jones, who has captured world titles as a middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight, is working his way towards a title shot at cruiserweight to complete the quinfecta. He is also scheduled to fight on August 29th and said that he loves keeping a busy schedule. “I am going to fight on Knockout on the 15th and then again on the 29th. I did two (fights) in March and I am liking how it feels so I am going to do two again in August and see how that feels. If I like how it feels then I will do it again maybe two or three weeks apart,” said Jones. The Pensacola, Fla. native said that he wants to bring back the old school when like fighters like Sugar Ray Robinson and Jake LaMotta faced each other twice in a three week span. A lot of today’s fighters struggle to get in two fights in a year, let alone in a month. “See, they are getting away from the old school stuff. I want to take it back to old school boxing where they used to fight every three weeks. Those were guys that were true fighters. I like that. I want to see how it feels,” said Jones. “You can’t do that now because of technology and the rules but I want to prove that I am the only old school OG around, you feel me? “Fighting two or three weeks apart if I can. If I can do it, I want to do it because I want to keep on going as long as I can. Can’t nobody tell Roy Jones when to start and nobody can tell Roy Jones when he should stop. Roy Jones is going to do what he wants to do and I enjoying myself in the ring and I am going to get back where I want to be,” stated Jones. Boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. will headline Knockout Season 2 that will also feature the winner’s of Knockout Season 2. This season features the featherweight, lightweight, and cruiserweight divisions and will be broadcast from the beautiful Foxwoods Hotel and Casino on Fuse/NuvoTV..

Roy Jones Jr. to Face Mike Tyson in Historic "Exhibition Match"
November 23, 2020 SEVILLE QUARTER CONTACT: BUCK MITCHELL MARKETING & ENTERTAINMENT DIRECTOR [email protected] 850-434-6211 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ROY JONES JR. TO FACE MIKE TYSON IN HISTORIC "EXHIBITION MATCH" PENSACOLA, Fl. – Get ready for the most anticipated fight in the history of boxing, reminiscent to professional bouts featuring immortal fighters like Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. Roy Jones Jr., 51 and Iron Mike Tyson, 54 enter the ring against each other for an eight-round “Exhibition Fight” at The Staples Center in Los Angeles (without fans in attendance). The fight will be shown on PPV at Seville Quarter in Downtown Pensacola (Jones’s hometown) on Saturday, November 28, 2020. The fights, including undercard fights, will start at 8pm. Jones (66-9), former four-division World Champion challenges Tyson (50-6), former undisputed Heavyweight World Champion. The fight is scheduled to take place on Thanksgiving weekend, November 28, 2020. The bout is officially sanctioned by the California State Athletic Commission with the WBC Frontline Battle Belt on the line. The Jones-Tyson comeback fight is labeled an ‘Exhibition,’ but that does not mean it is solely for entertainment purposes. The two boxing legends doubled down and are taking this fight very seriously. The fight already has Jones fired up as Tyson talks about looking for a knockout. Jones is looking forward to his chance to fulfill a bucket-list moment and testing his skills against Tyson. The one question Jones says he always hears from people is, "have you ever fought Mike Tyson?" He says "now I don't have to say 'no' no more." Jones is still taking the fight seriously.
