There's a comprehensive article - complete with videos - on Roy Jones Jnr's career at World Boxing News: I'll paste the beginning, but it'd take 10 posting boxes to get it all here: World Boxing News looks back at the fighter of the 1990s Roy Levesta Jones Jr was born in 1969 in Pensacola, Florida and at the age of 15 won his first boxing title, the first of many, many championships in a glittering professional career that starting at middleweight in 1989.
