Some boxing insiders believe Prince Badi "The Boxing Prince" Ajamu will end the illustrious career of five-time world champion Roy Jones, Jr., tomorrow night in Boise, Idaho. Prince Badi (25-2-1, 14 KOs) defends his NABO light heavyweight title in the 12-round main event against living legend Jones (49-4, 38 KOs) headlining the Hold Nothing Back! pay-per-view event. Although clearly the underdog, Badi has an edge in several categories for this match-up against the 37-year-old Jones, who badly needs a win after three straight losses, including two devastating knockouts by Antonio Tarver and Glen Johnson. Another defeat will likely spell the end for RJJ.
Can Jones show he can still be a player in the light heavyweight division? Or will Ajamu demonstrate to "His Royness" that his time is past and it's time for the younger light heavyweight athletes to take over?
Badi has improved his training regiment and camp, adding valued experience to his team, and he worked extremely hard to be in the best mental, physical and spiritual shape of his career. More significantly, though, is that he has dreamed about an opportunity like this and, despite the much larger stage, Badi has remained completely focused. And Prince is a very hungry fighter, something that often determines the difference between winning and losing in the ring. Prince feels that this fight is his shot to prove that he is a world-class performer.
