Jones-Green Deal Announced, Dominguez Up First

By Mark Vester

Former champions Roy Jones Jr. and Danny Green officially announced to the Australian media that a deal was reached to fight each other in the month of November in Australia. First they will co-headline a card on August 15 in Biloxi, Mississippi. Jones will face Jeff Lacy and Green will take on Argentina's Julio Cesar Dominguez for the vacant IBO cruiserweight title.

Perth or Melbourne are being eyed for the year-end Jones-Green bout. Jones believes that he will get a fair shake by facing Green, a heavy Australian fan favorite, in his backyard. It would become the first fight for Jones on foreign soil since he was robbed of a gold medal during the 1988 Olympic finals in Korea.
