PhilBoxing.com




Jones will be Mic’d Up Throughout Streamed Live Worldwide on BLK Prime

TOPPENISH, WASHINGTON, December 5, 2024 -- Roy Jones Jr., consensus No. 1 Pound-4-Pound boxer in the 90’s and early 2000’s, will have five of his stable of boxers on the December 12 card in the Great Pacific Northwest at Legends Casino Hotel.

“I am so excited to be back in Toppenish, Washington at Legends Casino Hotel, live on December 12, where my man Greg Fritz is a great host,” said Jones. “It’s going to be a great show, so don’t miss it!”

Roy will be in the corner for all five of his fighters. The five fighters train, along with the rest of his large stable, in his gym on his farm in Pensacola. It’s the same gym Roy trained in throughout his professional career. These kids are blessed to learn from the legend.

This historic event, promoted by Roy Jones Jr Boxing, will be streamed live on BLK Prime for the modest price of $12.99.

Claudia Trejos will be calling the action and Jones will be analyst on the live stream during the fights from the corner.

Tickets for the December 12 boxing card, priced at $60, $50 and $40, are on sale now and can be purchased in person at the Legends Casino Gift Shop or on-line at Ticketmaster by clicking HERE Doors open at 6 pm and first bell will be at 7 pm PT.

In the main event, Shady Gamhour (13-1, 9 KOs) whose main residence is in Sweden while not training in Pensacola, will fight in a ten-round super middleweight bout against Devontae McDonald (6-4, 2 KOs). McDonald resides in nearby Wenatchee, Washington.

In the co-main event, Dominique “Lil Jalapeño” Roundtree (10-0, 6 KOs) will battle Jose Antonio Sampedro (13-2, 7 KOs) in an eight-round bout for the vacant NBA Intercontinental Featherweight Championship. Roundtree, who trains with Jones, is from Augusta Georgia, while Sampedro hails from Queretaro, Mexico.

“I know the last time you saw Lil Jalapeno he put on a great show,” said Jones. “And guess what, I’m bringing him back, and he’s fighting for a title and he’s got a very tough fighter on his hands in Sampedro.”

Undefeated and the pride on Central Washington, Andrew Murphy (8-0, 5 KOs) from Yakima, Washington, just a short drive from Legends Casino Hotel, will make his return from a shoulder injury. Murphy, who is promoted by Haney Promotions, will fight in a six-round super middleweight bout against Andres Martinez (5-2, 3 KOs).

“Andrew Murphy is back from injury,” commented trainer Roy Jones. “He’ll be back at Legends and back in the ring.”

In a four-round lightweight bout, Chris Young (1-0, 1 KO) from Hattiesburg, Mississippi will battle Anthony Curtis (3-17, 2 KOs) from Butte, Montana.

“Chris Young is a hybrid,” said Jones. “He is a mixture between a Roy Jones Jr and Mike Tyson. How can you put that together? He did, so don’t miss this fight.”

Jones’ fifth fighter on the card, James Wilkins (12-3, 6 KOs) from Dallas, Texas will fight in a eight-round junior lightweight bout against Guadalajara Mexico’s Dennis Contreras (24-15-1, 22 KOs).

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. He was the first boxer EVER to make his professional debut at junior middleweight to go on to become heavyweight champion of the world. As Undisputed Light Heavyweight World Champion, Jones made seven successful defenses. Roy was the consensus No. 1 Pound-for-Pound boxer from mid 90’s thru the early 2000’s.
