Three-division world champion Roy Jones Jr. is one of the finest pugilists to have ever played the sport. In a career that spanned across almost three decades, Jones has had several glorious memories to look back at.
Although he has lost 9 fights, his 66 wins with 47 KOs cement him as one of the greatest. That said, Jones Jr. has been an underdog several times in his life. But ‘Captain Hook’ has emerged stronger from the odds, beating almost all of his opponents.
Even though he retired in 2018, he has returned to action this year in a special exhibition fight against Mike Tyson. Akin to his previous fights, several fans have had their support for Tyson. However, Roy Jones Jr. again beat the odds and put on a commendable performance against ‘Iron’ Mike to conclude the exhibition as a draw.
