Roy Jones Jr. Celebrates His 57th Birthday

The boxing community celebrates the birthday of one of the most gifted, brilliant and spectacular athletes to ever wear the Green and Gold belt: the legendary Roy Jones Jr.

Considered by many as the best pound-for-pound fighter of the 1990s and early 2000s, Jones Jr. didn’t just win titles; he redefined what was possible inside the ring through a near-perfect combination of speed, reflexes, and power.

Roy Jones Jr. maintains a historic relationship with the World Boxing Council. His dominance in the Light Heavyweight division is remembered as one of the organization’s most brilliant eras. As the WBC monarch, Jones Jr. unified the division and defended his crown with a level of superiority that left fans in awe.

Today, on his birthday, the WBC celebrates not only the champion but also the man who remains deeply involved in the sport as a trainer, passing his wisdom down to the next generation.

Happy Birthday to the great Roy Jones Jr.!
