The career of one of the biggest names in boxing came to an end in style. At 49 years old, Roy Jones Jr. hung up his gloves with a record of 66 wins, just nine losses and eight world titles. In the early hours of this Friday (09), the North American defeated Scott Sigmon in a unanimous decision by the judges and put an end to one of the most successful careers in the sport.

In the farewell fight, Jones showed that despite his age, he still showed his ability to dominate the fight against Sigmon. At the end of 10 rounds, Jones Jr was declared the winner with a unanimous decision by the judges: triple 98-92.
Challenge to Anderson Silva
Still in the ring, Roy Jones confirmed his retirement, but stated that he could return to compete under one condition: the superfight against Anderson Silva.
“Dana (White, UFC president), I know you’re listening to me. I know Anderson is suspended. But this would be the only fight that would make Roy Jones return to the ring. Other than that, chapter closed,” he declared.
