During his twenty-seven year professional career, జోన్స్ Jr. (64-9, 46 కోస్) has secured world titles in four different weight categories – మిడిల్వెయిట్, సూపర్ మిడిల్వెయిట్, Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight – and is the only boxer in history to start his career as a Light Middleweight and then go on to win a Heavyweight Championship.
In winning the WBA Heavyweight title by beating John Ruiz by unanimous decision in March 2003, జోన్స్ Jr. made history by becoming the first former middleweight champion to win a heavyweight title in 106 సంవత్సరాల.
జోన్స్ Jr. has victories over former world champions Bernard Hopkins, ఆంటోనియో Tarver, Vinny Panzienza, జేమ్స్ టోనీ, మైక్ మెక్కలం, విర్గిల్ హిల్, Felix Trinidad and John Ruiz.
జోన్స్ Jr. said of the bout, “I know Bobby Gunn is coming to bring it. He’s a hard-nose, tough fighter that comes right at you, but I’m going to show him why I’m one of the best that ever did it and he doesn’t belong in the ring with me.”
ఫిబ్రవరి న 17, Jones Jr’s opponent will be the former IBA Cruiserweight World Champion and the current Bare Knuckle Heavyweight Champion, బాబీ “The Celtic Warrior” Gunn.
Gunn, internationally known for being a Bare-Knuckle legend, will put the gloves back on to battle ring legend Roy Jones, Jr.
Like Jones Jr, Gunn has a fearsome record in gloved boxing – 21 విజయాలు (18 కో) 6 నష్టాలు, one draw, and one no-contest – and an even more impressive undefeated Bare Knuckle record of 72-0 తో 72 కో).
Gunn has been in the ring with top fighters Enzo Maccarinelli, గ్లెన్ జాన్సన్, Tomasz Adamek, and James Toney, so he is no stranger to sharing the ring with boxing’s elite. Gunn said of his upcoming clash with Jones Jr, “It’s an honor to share the ring with a legend like Roy Jones. I’ve been chasing him for a few years now, మరియు ఫిబ్రవరి 17, I will catch him.”
World Boxing Foundation’s North American Vice President James Gibbs said of the upcoming championship bout, “రాయ్ జోన్స్, Jr is a living legend and we are honored to have him fighting for our Cruiserweight Title against a warrior like Bobby Gunn. We are looking forward to this bout.”
