Jake Paul, meanwhile, is coming off the back of a win over Mike Tyson. Jones Jr also competed against Tyson, back in the pandemic era, in a bout that many have largely chosen to forget due to its odd nature.
Recently, rumors have been swirling that Jones Jr could battle Paul in a boxing match. Now, Roy has provided a response to these reports.
Jones Jr clears things up
“*READ* This post has cost me many of restless nights due to people wondering. LISTEN……… I love what Jake has done for our sport. I also love the time and effort that he’s put forth to develop his craft. Being that I was Mikes last opponent before the big exhibition that they put on, I do feel like I’d probably be the most noteworthy opponent at this point. HOWEVER………. I have not been contacted about any of these allegations so it is NOT A REALITY at this point in time. For the record- just like in my prime, I’m always JUST A CALL “OUT” away.”
