The legend Roy Jones Jr. is widely known for his ability to captivate fans both inside and outside the ring. A multi-talented individual, Jones Jr. entertained millions from the commentary box at Cowboys Stadium, where the Jake Paul and Mike Tyson event took place just three weeks ago. Now, the former world champion is preparing to embark on a new venture—something unprecedented in boxing.

On December 12, at the Legends Casino Hotel in Toppenish, Washington, Roy Jones Jr. will take on the role of a promoter, managing five of his fighters. But that’s not all—Jones Jr. may also step into the corner of fighters he’s trained. This marks a first for him as a head trainer. But could there be more to this event than meets the eye?

A New Chapter for Roy Jones Jr.

In a recent interview with a TMZ reporter, Jones Jr. reflected on the highly anticipated Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight in Arlington, Texas. For Jones Jr., it felt like déjà vu. He had once faced Tyson in an exhibition match four years ago, and Paul fought on one of the undercards. After watching the fight closely, Jones Jr. expressed a desire to test Paul’s chin himself.

However, the conversation soon shifted to his upcoming event at Legends Casino. The reporter asked, “You’re going to be very busy that night because not only do you have five fighters that you have trained and are going to corner, but you’re also going to be calling the actual fights. Is this more work than the fighters have that night? Roy, talk to me about the event on the twelfth.”

Jones Jr. agreed, acknowledging that he would likely put in more work than his boxers, but emphasized that it was all driven by his passion for the sport. The interview revealed another side of Jones Jr.—that of an entertainer. “I love to entertain people,” he shared. But his disclosure didn’t stop there.

It seems Jones Jr. may take on the role of a commentator as well. Reports suggest he will join well-known sports journalist Claudia Trejos in the commentary booth. “Before I retired, I never got the opportunity to do that because people couldn’t see outside the box like I see outside the box. But right now I get the opportunity to commentate, so that’s going to be pretty good,” he reflected.

He anticipated a unique challenge, as he will provide commentary on five different fighters he’ll be cornering.

Reinventing Himself Further

It would be shortsighted to think that a legend like Roy Jones Jr. has only these talents to offer. Given the grace with which he moved in the ring, he also demonstrated his talent on the basketball court in the past. Having also produced a chart-topping hip-hop single, Jones Jr. plans to add another ‘C’ to his list of roles at future events: concert promoter. He teased, “So I’m thinking next time, if this works out well, next time I think I add a concert in at the mission. Now I can do Corners Concert and Commentary. Wow, Triple C.”

With this new venture, fans can expect a full package from a living legend—Roy Jones Jr. continues to defy expectations and push boundaries in the world of sports and entertainment.
