During his twenty-seven year professional career, 琼斯JR. (64-9, 46 科斯) has secured world titles in four different weight categories – 中量级, 超中量级, 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, 琼斯JR. made history by becoming the first former middleweight champion to win a heavyweight title in 106 岁月.
琼斯JR. has victories over former world champions Bernard Hopkins, 安东尼奥·塔弗, Vinny Panzienza, 詹姆斯·托尼, 迈克·麦卡勒姆, 维吉尔山, Felix Trinidad and John Ruiz.
琼斯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.”
二月 17, Jones Jr’s opponent will be the former IBA Cruiserweight World Champion and the current Bare Knuckle Heavyweight Champion, 鲍比 “凯尔特勇士” 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 胜 (18 KO) 6 损失, one draw, and one no-contest – and an even more impressive undefeated Bare Knuckle record of 72-0 同 72 KO).
Gunn has been in the ring with top fighters Enzo Maccarinelli, 格伦 - 约翰逊, 托马斯·阿达梅克, 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, 并 二月 17, I will catch him.”
World Boxing Foundation’s North American Vice President James Gibbs said of the upcoming championship bout, “罗伊·琼斯, 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.”
The undercard for this championship match will feature popular Delawarean Joe Tiberi (13-2, 6KO), Canada’s Henry Stewart (1-0, 1KO), as well as more to be announced.
