The Confrontation That Ended the Roy Jones Boxing Era

For a long time, Roy Jones Jr. dominated the professional ring, becoming the world middleweight champion, and then successfully moving through each weight division, going all the way to the top. Despite his success, he seemed to continually seek out new titles to conquer. Even in the heavyweight division, where he dreamed of fighting Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, or Lennox Lewis, Jones owned the WBA belt. But negotiations fell through. He refused a fight with Vitali Klitschko himself, deciding instead to return to his usual light heavyweight. But Antonio Tarver already ruled there, and he had promised the whole world to dispel the myth of Jones' impeccable defense.#boxing
