"We've had great success with last year's CBS Sports Network shows, but the addition of such a world-renowned name as Roy Jones adds a strong element of greatness to each presentation. And the addition of the RJJ stable of fighters makes the possibility for several exciting match-ups. I am proud to be affiliated with CBS Sports Network and especially my close business associates at RJJ." "I am extremely honored to work with such a reputable network such as CBS and distinguished partner, Greg Cohen," stated Keith Veltre, CEO of Roy Jones Jr. Boxing Promotions. "CBS will no doubt bring more recognition to both our companies, worldwide. I am excited about this new avenue to showcase the RJJ roster to the boxing world. My thanks to Greg Cohen and the team at CBS Sports and I look forward to being part of this exciting series of shows, as a promoter and as a lifelong fan of boxing." GCP began the "Championship Boxing on CBS Sports Network" series last year in April and has already featured world-class fighters such as current interim WBA World Lightweight Champion Ismael Barroso, former world title challengers Lateef "Power" Kayode, "Hurricane" Dennis Hogan, and lightweight contender Tony "Lightning" Luis.  |
