Recently World Boxing News had the honor to speak to former 2 division world champion “The Celtic Warrior” Steve Collins. Collins who has been retired since 1997 had expressed his disdain towards fellow all-time great Roy Jones Jr.
Collins told WBN that he would come out of retirement after fifteen years to face Jones if he were to accept.
Less than 24 hours after the story broke, Roy Jones was interviewed in response to Collins and told the outlet that he accepts Collins’ challenge and to let him know when and where.
Collins recently recent contacted WBN via email in response to Roy Jones’ acceptance.
“If Roy Jones thinks that I have gone soft being out of the ring so long he is making a big mistake," Collins told World Boxing News.
"Roy Jones avoided me when I was at my best. He is fooling himself if he thinks it’s safe to mouth off now. Google Roy Jones v Fraser in Pennsicola and you will see me in the ring challenging him and you will see him run, at the post fight I offered him winner take all and he chickened out!
"Jones has a big mouth, if he has a promoter willing to put it on then call me. I am calling his bluff. “
