Roy Jones Jr. Plans David Haye Meeting To Set 2011 Clash

By Mark Vester

Former four division champion Roy Jones Jr., currently on a tour of Europe, told The Sun that he plans to have a face-to-face meeting with WBA heavyweight champion David Haye in an effort to convince the British champion to fight him at Wembley Stadium in 2011.

"I am meeting David and will tell him that we can give the world a great fight. I want one more run at the title," Jones said.

Jones captured the WBA heavyweight title in 2003 with a twelve round decision of John Ruiz, who Haye knocked out earlier this year. He moved back to light heavyweight in the same year without defending his heavyweight title and was later stripped for not facing the mandatory. Jones was beaten in his last two ring appearances; a first round TKO to IBO cruiserweight champion Danny Green last December, and a twelve round decision to Bernard Hopkins in April.

He was scheduled to return against Danny Santiago this month but withdrew after suffering a hand injury in training camp. Haye defends his title against Audley Harrison on November 13 in Manchester.
