What are your thoughts? Roy Jones and James Toney set for return on same card, July 26 Former pound-for-pound king and four-division titleholder Roy Jones Jr is scheduled to fight again. Jones, who is 45 and about a decade past the end of his run on top, told ESPN on Thursday that he will take on 39-year-old British journeyman Courtney Fry (18-5, 6 KOs) in a 12-round cruiserweight bout on July 26 in Riga, Latvia. The fight is the main event of a card that is also scheduled to feature long-faded heavyweight James Toney (76-9-3, 46 KOs), Jones one-time rival and a former three-division titleholder. They met in a 1994 super middleweight world championship fight that Jones won by one-sided decision to claim the 168-pound belt. Toney, 45, is scheduled to fight 6-foot-9, 330-pound Evgeny Orlov (15-12-1, 11 KOs), 35, of Russia. KP Promotion, which is putting on the card, initially wanted to match Jones with Toney in a rematch, but Jones said he had no interest. espn.co.uk/boxing/sport/story/325277.html
