"Roy Jones Eyes Retirement: I Think It's My Last Year in Boxing"

After the fight, he said he wants to continue.. Now he spoke to 'On The Ropes Boxing Radio',

"Yeah I think it’s my last year in boxing, and I tell people all the time, 'When you’re my age, you never know which one will be your last.' Bernard Hopkins fought a fight where he thought it was probably going to be his last one and it probably was his last one."

"At this age you never know when it’s going to be your last one because it may turn out how you want, it may go way better than you expect, or it may not turn out how you want,"


"There’s a lot of different factors that factor into whether it’s your last one or not. At this age you never can tell, but guess what I decided? I decided since I know that, then I’m going to make sure I go out with a bang and I’m going to go out and enjoy myself,"

"If it ends up being my last one, then I went out the last one like I went out in the first one, I went out with a bang. If it’s not my last one then they got more of a bang to look forward to next time."

As long as he retires before he ends up doing some sort of long term damage to himself that's all that matters now.

He earned his place in boxing history years ago and now it's just carrying on too long.
