Leroy Jones (Global ID 2199)

[Gruen]

Hello,
I have run into the following issue recently when editing in Wikipedia
There is this former Larry Homes and Mike Weaver opponent guy Leroy Jones, whose birthplace is maintained as NYC on Boxrec, and it was also maintained so in the Wikipedia article
Some time ago a bloke came across on Wikipedia who started to change Jones' birthplace to Meridian, Missisippi, but since he did not provide any reliable sources, his edits were always reverted
However, a couple of days ago he finally provided a link, which contains a blurry scanned picture of a some 1976 edit of "Boxing Review"; and although it is not easy to read, it can still be seen that it is about the same Leroy Jones, and it indeed cites that he was born in Meridian
You can check out the picture here: http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/ ... 46_6976650
Now I wonder, which is the correct version? Boxrec probably has some source of his own supporting that Jones was born in NYC?
Regards,
G
