Boxing's biggest roadshow rolls into Brisbane tomorrow when Roy Jones Jr and Danny Green shape up to promote their upcoming world title fight in Sydney.
Jones Jr, regarded by many as one of the best fighters of the past two decades, and Perth-based Green will do the rounds to spark interest in their December 2 battle in Sydney, where Jones Jr will go after Green's IBO cruiserweight crown.
A four division world champion, 40-year-old Jones is bidding to become the first man ever to hold a world title in every division from middleweight up.
He boasts a record of 59 fights for 54 (40KOs), and is fighting outside of America for the first time in his career.
Jones and Green have been doing the rounds to promote their upcoming meeting. The pair were on hand at the NRL grand final, where Green watched his beloved Parramatta Eels lose to Melbourne. Jones was more than happy to wear a Storm jersey.
The pair will visit the Game On fitness centre at Woolloongabba tomorrow and hold a joint media conference at 11.30am. They will then move to the nearby Pineapple Hotel at noon for a public reception - and presumably a steak.

 

I thought Greeny had a fish hanging over his shoulder at first!
