PONCE, Puerto Rico - Puerto Rican boxer Manuel Alejandro Siaca announced he will fight six-time world champion Roy Jones Jr. on Dec. 9 in Philadelphia.
Siaca told El Nuevo Dia newspaper Jones will defend his minor North American Boxing Organization light-heavyweight title.

"It's a new opportunity ... for me it's more than a title fight," Siaca said.

The 37-year-old Jones (50-4) claimed the lightly regarded belt against Prince Badi Ajamu in July, in what was his first win in 32 months.

Siaca (26-8), who turns 31 next month, lost a bid for the WBA title to Silvio Branco in a 12-round decision in July in Italy.

This fight better not end up as PPV. Jones is washed up and the N.A.B.O. belt is a joke.

Wow, I wonder if this ends up as a Friday Nights Fight event?

does anyone have roy's fight vs. Prince Badi Ajamu???

Roy needs to take what little is left of his legacy and retire.

lol absolutely agreed

Jones does not need the money! What is he fighting for? I think he should go back to making that sweet rap music!

The N.A.B.O., with all that he has done in boxing he actrully wears that thing. Somebody needs to tell him he's looking a little sad these days

I hope its not PPV but I still hope Roy wins

sorry I forgot about this one, last I heard it got called off
