Jones to Fight Tyson in Kenya this Fall

(1/6) > >>

Perfection:
Twenty-nine years after Muhammad Ali surprised George Foreman in Kinshasa, Zaire, Roy Jones Jr. appears set to stage Rumble in the Jungle II.

Jones says he would like to defend his WBA championship against either Mike Tyson or Lennox Lewis on November 8 in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi.

Akbar Muhammad, senior vice-president of Roy Jones Enterprises, tells The Daily Mirror newspaper that negotiations are at an advanced stage with Tyson.

"We are holding negotiations with Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis but the most probable opponent for Roy Jones will be Tyson," he said. "Roy Jones has given a commitment to defend his title in Nairobi on November 8 and he will be coming here on July 21 to promote the fight."

A bout with Tyson looks more likely since Lewis is set to defend his heavyweight championship against Vitali Klitschko sometime this fall.

Jones became the first boxer in more than 100 years to go from middleweight champion to heavyweight champion when he defeated John Ruiz last March.

I care 'cause it will be a great fight. And it's like Ali-Fraizer 2, you know the winner is going to fight the champ. So I can't wait. both fights happen around the same time from each other. I hope to see Roy win... and take Lewis crown. 'Cause he is Superman.

R.I.P Roy Jones Jr


Tyson/Lewis will KILL this little guy. Because BOTH of these fighters are not going to go in to techs and point boxing. THEY"RE GOING AFTER THE MUSCLE GAME, seriously Tyson will be going for the 1 round knock out, and Lewis will just sit back and knock him around.
