Last month, 47-year-old Roy Jones Jr. announced that he'd give one lucky fan a chance to fight him in the ring for $100,000. Yes, he's still going through with this.
The lucky guy is 33-year-old Vyron Phillips, a Minnesota-bred MMA fighter with a 6-3 record. Unimpressive, but the man sure is excited about the opportunity.
It's worth noting that the contest's original rules—anybody could enter—had to be adjusted. Arizona's boxing commission wouldn't approve a fight against someone who didn't have a professional record. So, Jones Jr. will have a harder time in this bout, and the fact that he got knocked out in his one doesn't inspire much confidence.
But the show will go on. The PPV fight will take place this Sunday
