Speaking to SecondsOut on YouTube, McCrory said, “If I come back after 27 years of never lacing a glove on, knock Roy Jones out… I think people might say ‘How good could Glenn McCrory have really been.”

Thus, this statement from the Brit showed that for him it is about reminding people of his hay-day. In a time when retired fighters want a piece of the action for the money, it should be a pleasant surprise to fans that McCrory wants to return to prove a point.
