Hopkins is 45 while Roy Jones Jr is 41. They first met in the boxing ring 17 years ago. During that time, their career is peaking.
The Rivals II will be at Mandalay Bay Arena and it will be shown in HBO pay-per-view.
According to nydailynews.com, The first fight between the two in 1993 was a stinker. Jones won a 12-round unanimous decision to win the vacant IBF middleweight title. Both have said that this fight will be much different, much better because of the heat that has built up over the 17 years.
Jones has guaranteed a knockout, primarily as a selling point for the promotion. But what happens if Hopkins knocks out Jones?
"If he can hurt me then after this one maybe it's time to hang it up," Jones said.
