Roy Jones, Jr. is a man who defies definition. A five-time world champion boxer in four different weight classes; a world-class boxing promoter; a superb athlete in all arenas; a hit music performer and manager; and a television and motion picture actor; in short, Roy Jones, Jr. is a renaissance man for his era and a legend for eras to come.

Jones was Ring magazine's "Fighter of the Year" in 1994 and was voted the "Fighter of the Decade" in the 1990's by the Boxing Writers Association of America. He's the former IBF middleweight champion, IBF super middleweight world champion and former undisputed light heavyweight champion.

He made 11 successful defenses in unifying the 175-pound division before moving up to heavyweight to fight John Ruiz. On March 1, 2002, Jones became the first former middleweight champion to win the world heavyweight crown in over 100 years

Thinking of new ways to astonish his legions of followers had never been a problem for this superb athlete. One only has to go back to June 15, 1996 to find a stunning example of Jones' incredible athletic ability and stamina. A few hours before defending his IBF super middleweight championship against Eric Lucas, Jones spent 15 grueling minutes playing for the Jacksonville Barracudas of the United States Basketball League. He scored six points.

Like basketball, fishing, and hunting, music is another of Jones' loves. Several of is own recordings, including the popular The Album: Round One, have been distributed under his own Body Heat Entertainment label. He also manages several talented groups.

A proven motion picture and television talent, Jones has had parts in The Sentinel, Living Single, Watcher, In Living Color, Married With Children, Dateline, Arliss, The Wayan Brothers and such films as The Devil's Advocate, New Jersey Turnpikes and the final two films of The Matrix trilogy, recently completed in Australia. Jones also appears on the new video game based on The Matrix. Jones' own video game Knock Out Kings, from EA Sports, makes its debut this fall.

With all of that, this energetic young superstar, a proud father of three sons, still finds the time to devote many hours speaking to America's youth on the value of education and the perils of drugs. He has also been an advocate of boxing reform, where he has testified at U.S. Senate hearings on behalf of his fellow boxers.

"When you have been blessed as I have been," said Jones, "you have to give something back. If some day I find that I have turned around the life of some troubled young man or woman, I will accept that as an award as great as any I have ever received."

Today, Roy Jones, Jr. begins his second career in earnest. He intends to sign the world's top amateurs to promotional contracts so he may pass along his unparalleled knowledge he has gained through fifteen years of professional boxing.
