Name: Roy Jones Jr.
Born
on January 16, 1969, Jones has long made his home in Pensacola, Florida when
he started boxing at the age of ten. Weighing a mere 69 pounds, Jones beat a
85-pound, 14 year-old in a youth boxing event at Pensacola Beach. That was just
the beginning. Jones went on to have a great [...] career.
[...] The usual observer may wonder how so much can be packed into one individual. But, with Jones, boxing is just the tip of the iceberg. Not only can he orchestrate decisive victories round after round, he can easily shift gears to one of his other loves... music.
Jones has cut several music recordings which have been distributed under his own label, Body Head Entertainment. Jones also manages several talented groups who produce recordings under Jones' label. The music industry will soon discover the genuine allegiance of Roy Jones Jr. fans…an allegiance Roy readily returns.
Television and motion picture audiences have already witnessed the enormous talent and dynamic personality of Jones in The Sentinel, Living Single, Watcher, In Living Color, Married with Children, Dateline, Arliss, The Wayan Brothers, and films such as Devils Advocate and New Jersey Turnpikes. Jones also serves as the expert analyst on the HBO Boxing After Dark Series and is a spokesperson for Jordan brand.
It seems as though Jones has definitely earned life's 'brass ring'. But Jones is one who gives much more than he receives. For instance Roy joined boxing icon and childhood hero Muhammad Ali on his cross-country goodwill campaign, delivering positive messages on life to school kids.
