Roy Jones jr in Blackburn

Post by P4P#1 »

Anyone know if this is legit? there was an advert in last weeks boxing news. So checked the website and it says he's coming over on the 27th November and tickets are only £10.00. It says he's there to open the gym, and he'll be signing autographs as well as given a Q&A session and photo opps, plus its states he will spar with a selected few. Im more than a bit sceptical, as he's fighting on the 10th.

Roy Jones is quite a common British name- perhaps they meant a different roy jones. :TU:

Ads may have a different deadline to the rest of the content. Might've been too late to pull it.

My gym is near Blackburn, (clitheroe)
I had Roy jones at my gym last year and just let people come and meet him for free. His agent hasn't said anything about him coming in at that time. And I've not herd of the gym to be honest

Seeing how far downhill he's gone, he's probably chief support to the main event at Blackburn Town Hall.

I think Roy Cropper would give a better spar nowadays.
