Later tonight, Boise, Idaho, one of the more unlikely settings, will be the center of the boxing world when Roy Jones, Jr. (49-4, 38 KOs) returns to the ring for the first time since dropping a unanimous decision to Antonio Tarver in their trilogy bout, to take on Prince Badi “The Boxing Prince” Ajamu (25-2-1, 14 KOs).
The unheralded Prince Badi, apparently holds five fringe title belts in the light hevayweight division, the NABO, WBC Continental Americas, WBC CABOFE, IBC Intercontinental and Pennsylvania State title. Only the NABO light heavyweight title is on the line.
The main event of a pay-per-view called “Hold Nothing Back!” Hopefully, for the sake of the fans that purchase the show, Jones does not hold back like he did against Antonio Tarver in the third meeting and shows up ready, willing and able to fight. Jones will be forced to fight, even if he doesnt have it in him, because Ajamu is ready to cash this golden opportunity.
“I’ve always been a fan of Roy’s and I find it almost mystical that I’m now fighting somebody I’ve admired so much,” Prince Badi said. “But this is business. A win puts my name down in history and tells the world I’m ready to fight at the next level. A lot of guys have good records, but there are questions about them. A win means I can fight the top guys in my division, whether people feel I’m fighting a vintage Roy Jones or not. You can’t take anything away from him because of three fights.
