"In a recent press release, Roy Jones Jr was actually happy to hear that his July 14th opponent Tony Hanshaw is stating that not only will he knock the 50-4 Jones out but that the KO will be so devastating that RJJ will retire from the ring. Below is an excerpt from the release.
"I was shocked myself," Muhammad said, "because in New York and at our press conference at the IP Casino/Resort/Spa, our host in Biloxi, Tony had been a real gentleman. He was talking about how much he admired
and respected Roy Jones. But something set him off in Chicago and he started talking bold. He did say he would knock the man completely out of the sport. It's rare someone speaks like that to a superstar of Roy's magnitude."
Jones smiled when he heard Hanshaw's fighting words. The 38-year-old who has been a world champion at middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight said he liked to hear the Tyger roar.
"Finally, Tony showed some verbal fire," Jones said. "That's good because it will help the promotion and I want the world to see how I school this kid. As for Poppa Mayweather, he will be writing some sad poems when he sees how I handle his protege. At least Hanshaw is talking like a threat to me. I like that. No, I love that. Tune in and watch how I defuse him. I'ts the Tyger who will turn out to be toothless."
The scheduled 12-round, to be fought at a limit of 175 pounds, will be beamed all around North America and the world from the Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum and Convention Center in Biloxi.
Price for the PPV telecast is an affordable $29.95. The show will be distributed by In Demand, Dish Network and others and the telecast will be produced by Madison Square Garden Network. Tickets, ranging from $500, to $300, $100, $75 and $30 are on sale through Ticketmaster and other outlets.
