“It’s going to be a great card on Thursday at Legends Casino Hotel,” said Jones. “I have these three great guys on the card, two great prospects and the third fighting for a world title. I love having them on this card. Roundtree, who many people have not seen, is a very interesting guy. Papillion is also an up and comer and of course the ever loving Mandeep Jangra. Jangra always brings the action and he’ll be fighting for a world title which is very exciting for me. Don’t miss it!”

Jangra won the NBA Continental Junior Featherweight Title on January 25 at Legends. He has since won his last three bouts, all by knockout. Jangra had a stellar amateur career which included Silver Medals at the Commonwealth Games and Asian Games.

“This is a great opportunity for me, and I am blessed to be here. I have always dreamed about becoming a world champion,” said Jangra. “All thanks to God that I am feeling so proud that I am representing my country India for world title. I want to be an inspiration for the next generation of Indian boxers. They can learn from my hard work and dedication. India is an upcoming powerhouse for professional boxing.”

Regarding having Jones as his trainer, “Roy is a great mentor. I am so blessed that he gave me chance to work with him. Learning from the champ is the best way to succeed. One of the best things I have learned from Roy is fishing in boxing 😂, meaning how to make way for the counter punch, and I love that!”

Nilo Guerrero (9-0, 7 KOs), was born and raised in Managua, Nicaragua and now resides in Coachella, California. Nilo made his pro debut in 2021, fought his first six fights in Nicaragua and his last three in the USA.

“I’m happy to have this opportunity and I’m motivated for this fight,” Guerrero said. “It’s always been my dream to fight for a world title. My opponent is an excellent fighter and I know this will be a war. We are both fighting to stay undefeated. but I will do my job and get that victory no matter what. I know it will be the best fight of the night. In my mind, the objective is to come out on top, either by decision, TKO or KO.”

ROY JONES JR. was world champion at middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight (undisputed) and in 2003 became the first former middleweight world champion to become world heavyweight champion in over 106 years when he beat John Ruiz to win the title. Throughout that stretch he was recognized as the No. 1 pound-for-pound boxer in the world. He now trains over a dozen boxers.
