Roy Jones Jr. Interested in Facing Jake Paul to Gauge His Chin Strength

“I don’t think Mike checked his chin at all,” RJJ said. “So, I wouldn’t mind having a shot to see if I could get to his chin, to test his chin.”

As for El Gallo’s ability in the ring, Jones Jr. praised the 27-year-old fighter.

“Jake’s not a bad puncher,” Roy said. “I don’t think Mike was really trying to take a lot of risks. He knows the older we get, the tougher it is to take [a punch].”

Jones added, “But for me, nah, I gotta go see.”

Roy, 66-10, last boxed in April, losing a decision to former UFC star Anthony Pettis. Since then, he’s been keeping busy, training several young fighters.

In fact, five of those boxers will make their way to the ring on December 12 at Yakama Legends Casino Event Center in Washington (the event will stream on BLK Prime if you can’t make it in person) … and Roy will be in their corner, literally.

RJJ will also be serving as a commentator for the event … pulling major double duty.
