Roy Jones is saying that he has a meeting with the UFC to talk about a potential fight between him and Anderson Silva
Roy Jones Jr. took time out of his schedule to talk with Oscar Willis of TheMacLife to talk about a possible showdown with Anderson "The Spider" Silva.
“Me and Anderson have, for five or six years now, been trying to get a boxing match between us. “We’re two great icons of our sport, two legends, and it’s not often you get to see two legends get in the ring together. That’s been going on for the last five or six years, and if Conor and Floyd does fight, [our addition] would make it a big event."
“I mean to put us on the undercard as the co-main would be a really, really big event. Not only us fighting but people want to see a boxer versus a MMA guy.”
“I’m thinking he’s feeling the way I’m feeling, and I know he’s been wanting to do it, because as soon as I [mentioned it] he came back and said ‘why should a man not be allowed to achieve his dream?’ and his dream is mine, it’s a great situation for both of us that we both want.”
