Vyron Phillips found out the hard way what's like to get in the ring with former four division world champion Roy Jones Jr. (62-9, 45KOs).
The two of them collided on Sunday night, as part of the UR Fight internet pay-per-view at the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona.
As previously reported, Jones was the headliner of the card, where a lucky fan would have the opportunity to win a $100,000 if they are able to beat the former champ. Fans were required to submit videos to UR Fight. The submitted video had each fan/fighter explain why UR Fight should select them to fight Jones. The selected opponent was the unknown 33-year-old MMA fighter Phillips, who has a 5-3 record in MMA and a very minor amateur boxing background.
It took Jones two rounds to brutally dispatch of him.
The last time the 47-year-old Jones was in the ring, he himself was brutally knocked out in four rounds in December by former WBO cruiserweight champion Enzo Maccarinelli in Russia.
As far as his pro boxing future, Jones has yet to make a decision, but hints that he might fight again.
"There's nothing official. I may hang it up. I'm going to see how I feel. This fan thing doesn't really have any effect on my career goals, you know I'll still be training fighters and haven't made any career plans yet. Just like I hadn't made any career plans before I fought Maccarinelli. I'll see how it goes, see how I feel. I always listen to my body. This fight has no impact on my options or how I pursue my career goals, my TV goals or my boxing career," Jones told CBS Sports.
