Roy Jones Jr Update



A recent report by Dan Rafael on EPSN.com confirms that promoter Lou DiBella is trying to close a deal for Jermain Taylor to face Sergio Mora. Dibella is also hard at work trying on putting together an undercard to go with Taylor vs Mora.

ESPN reports there are numerous possibilities, including a possible fight with Roy Jones Jr. DiBella would like to see Roy Jones Jr. fight on the undercard with a possible an eye towards the future having Jones Jr. face Taylor sometime in the fall season.

DiBella say Jones has actually agreed to fight on the undercard but there are many issues that still need to be worked out, making it a long shot that it will come off.

ESPN reports that some of the stumbling blocks between the parties involved, include not having agreed on a purse for Roy Jones Jr. or an opponent for Jones Jr to face.
