Jones and Hopkins sign agreement to fight in 2010

Sixteen years after they first met, Roy Jones and Bernard Hopkins will finally fight again.

The light heavyweight stars signed an agreement Friday night to meet in a rematch sometime in the first quarter of 2010, according to Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer and Square Ring CEO John Wirt.

The deal is contingent on Jones' first winning a planned Dec. 2 fight in Australia against Australian cruiserweight Danny Green.

Under the terms of the agreement, it is a 50-50 split of the revenue. However, if there is a knockout, the winner of the fight will get 60 percent and the loser 40 percent.

When Hopkins and Jones first met in 1993, Jones won a unanimous decision to claim a vacant middleweight title.

This would be ****in outrageous if it happened.My grandfather always said these 2 will fight a rematch 10 or more years after the first fight but Inever believed him. I said these guys got to big egos.Turns out he was right,too bad he didn't live to see it.

God I hope Danny Green doesn't surprise us.
