After ten months away from the spotlight, Roy Jones returned to the ring and deftly snuffed out the aspirations of "Prince" Badi Ajamu over the course of twelve one-sided rounds in Boise, Idaho. Despite predictions by many in the media that he was finished, Jones, 50-4 (38), captured the NABO Light Heavyweight belt by avoiding anything Ajamu, 25-3-1 (14), could bring to bear while catching the Camden, New Jersey man with sharp counters. Ajamu didn't help his cause at all by fouling Jones, resulting in three point deductions for low blows, and losing by scores of 119-106 on all three cards.
The chief support bout saw ex-IBF Light Heavy titlist William Guthrie stop Luke Munsen in the fifth to capture the vacant IBF International Cruiserweight belt.
