Roy Jones Jr-Anderson Silva Boxing Match in The Future?

By Mark Vester

Regarded as one of the most technical fighters in mixed martial arts, UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva, is still craving a potential fight with former four division boxing champion Roy Jones Jr. The fight had been talked about in the past - several times. Silva's UFC contract seems to get in the way of the fight actually being made. UFC president Dana White is willing to entertain the idea of the fight, but only if Jones fights Silva in the UFC ring - under MMA rules.

Silva says the fight will only happen once his contract runs out with the UFC. He claims the fight has been discussed [with Jones] and it's basically a done deal when he finally breaks from his MMA obligations.

"After my contract with the UFC ends and end my career in MMA, I intend to have a boxing match with Roy Jones. That’s something that’s already been arranged, it’s all practically a done deal. Now I just have to wait and see," Silva tells Gracie Magazine .
