Saturday night, former three-division champion Felix "Tito" Trinidad (42-2, 35 KOs) will come out of retirement after a near thirty-two month layoff to challenge former four-division champion Roy Jones Jr. (51-4, 38 KOs) at New York's Madison Square Garden. The fight takes place at a catch-weight of 170-pounds.
"I always want to fight great fighters and I have always wanted to fight Roy Jones Jr., one of the greatest fighters of the era," Trinidad said. "I have too much boxing left inside of me and I want to show that I am still one of the best fighters in the world. I feel good at this weight and it will be a great fight."
The catch-weight has stirred some interest in the fight. Trinidad has never fought above 160-pounds and has not fought below 175-pounds since 1996. At the official weigh-in, Jones came in at an unbelievable 169.5-pounds and Trinidad tipped the scales at 170.
"We both have bombs in our tank and are phenomenal boxers on top of that," Jones said. "We are both powerful punchers and it will all depend on who gets there first. I will guarantee this: count on it; this will be a superfight that delivers the goods. We're going to give fight fans exactly what they want to see."
