Seems Roy is looking for a rematch against Danny Green. A Green coming off two brutal defeats still comes in as the favourite to beat this old Jones.
Four-weight world champion Roy Jones Jr. is relenting in his quest to hold aloft the only belt that has eluded him since the Pensacola fighter laced up professional gloves for the first time as a middleweight in 1989.
The now 42 year-old, who got back to winning ways for the first time since 2009 at the weekend, is intent on continuing his quest to dethrone one of the world cruiserweight champions in 2012.
One of his targets along the way is a rematch with Australian former IBO champion Danny Green, who stopped Jones in just one round two years ago and is currently on a two-fight losing streak.
When asked whether a bout with Green was something he had in his sights, Jones replied: “Danny Green? For sure! I want that fight right now.
“My target is the cruiserweight world title. I expect to be back in February or March and Green is an option.
With differing degrees of negativity surrounding the former great prolonging his career after three-straight defeats before his ten-round win over Max Alexander, Jones wasn’t letting any of it faze him when questioned about calls for his retirement.
“God gave me life, so he will have the final say so,” Jones told World Boxing News.
