A veteran of over 75 boxing matches, Roy Jones Jr. was once a pound-for-pound, the greatest boxer on the planet in his heyday. Tuning into a Roy Jones Jr. fight was like tuning into the greatest show on Earth. There were theatrics, skill, and some of the most unique and brutal knockouts you’ll ever see in boxing.

He thought all the way down from middleweight at 154 lbs up to heavyweight well into the 200s. With his move up to Heavyweight, Jones cemented his legacy as one of the most impressive combat sports athletes to ever step inside the ring.
On the other side of the squared circle, we have NDO Champ an IFBB pro bodybuilder with a tremendous following on social media.

A Metaverse Battle For The Ages
Celebrity Boxing creator Damon Feldman is the man behind the bout. He promises a different kind of experience, but a legitimate fight. All the same. Both Roy Jones Jr. and NDO Champ will be trading actual blows during this virtual boxing match. Is an opportunity to see how far the technology can be pushed to deliver a different kind of fight experience to fans of the sport.
Roy Jones, Junior, and NDO Champ both had a great deal to say about their upcoming match. Jones believes he’ll most certainly win. The only thing he’s wondering is if it will be by decision or by knockout.
“Depends how good of a punch he can take. He can’t take good punch then he goes to sleep. All depends on what happens. I don’t know, I’ve never been in the ring with him. I’ve never seen him box. There’s no film on him. That’s what makes it so different.
“You don’t know what he’s bringing. You don’t know if he’s gonna be a Mike Tyson puncher or a guy with a lot of muscle that can’t punch at all.”
NDO Champ isn’t coming to lie down, however. He plans on giving Roy Jones Jr. the fight of his life.
“Listen, we don’t train to lose. We don’t train to come in there and play. If that’s the case, I’ll go back doin’ something else, you feel me. No disrespect, I salute the OG, but it’s wartime.
“I’m not coming in there to congratulate you on all our successes, nah, you shouldn’t have gotten in this ring with this man. You shouldn’t have gotten in the ring with me. I’m a born stone killer!”
