Roy Jones Jr was planning on giving a boxing fan a chance at winning $100,000 should this fan be able to beat him in a boxing match live on the UR pay per view event.
But as Jones was told he wasn’t aloud to do this the organisers have taken a complete u-turn in matching him up against a MMA fighter.
The MMA fighter is Vyron Phillips. Phillips Nicknamed “The Cannon” has a MMA record of 5-3. He is ranked #44 in the listing for Canadian welterweights.
Phillips hasn’t had any professional boxing experience and looks like he may be a lamb to the slaughter going up against the former pound for pound star.
In what was a match up of a past King of boxing against a boxing fan, something that did leave people thinking ‘what the hell is going on’ but created a lot of interest, has turned into a bizarre almost pointless match up.
