American boxer Roy Jones Jr made a great comeback by beating Prince Badi Ajamu
Former light heavyweight champion Roy Jones Jr made a great comeback by outpointing Prince Badi Ajamu in their fight in Boise, Idaho.
Roy Jones Jr, 37, improved his record to 50-4 with three scores of 119-106 as he claimed a fine victory.
The win gave Roy Jones, who had claimed five world titles at four different weights, the fringe NABO title and it also ended a run of three defeats since 2003 to Antonio Tarver (twice) and Jamaica's Glencoffe Johnson.
Roy Jones, once the world's best pound-for-pound fighter, explained he had been training for nine months to fight 34-year-old Prince Badi Ajamu, who is ranked number six by the WBC and is a cousin of the late Floyd Patterson.
And after the fight Roy Jones announced he is now targeting a chance at Britain's IBF/WBO super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe, or even former middleweight king Bernard Hopkins.
"The champ is back," Roy Jones roared afterwards. "But I only give myself a 'C' for that performance."
