Roy Jones... It's Time

There are growing calls for former world champion Roy Jones Jr to retire from Boxing. Lennox Lewis posted the message: Roy Jones Jr 'it's time bro!', on social media over the weekend.

Jones was the first boxer in over a 100 years to go from winning a middleweight title to claiming a version of the heavyweight crown. But at 46 years old most consider him past his peak

In his latest fight he was knocked out in the 4th round by Welsh fighter Enzo Maccarinelli.

Writer Brin-Jonathan Butler spent time with Jones at his home in Pensacola Florida recently, and suggests this story is more than a boxer struggling to walk away from the limelight.
