Woods-Jones II in England?

Reportedly, negotiations are underway for a rematch between former pound-for-pound and light heavyweight champion Roy Jones and newly crowned IBF champion Clinton Woods. In their first meeting, Jones dazzled Woods with speed and forced a sixth round stoppage of the Briton. Since then, Woods has contested the IBF championship with former champion Glen Johnson; drawing once and losing in his final attempt. Johnson’s vacation of the title in order to face Antonio Tarver allowed Woods what many felt would be a last chance to become a world champion, and he made good on the opportunity, pounding out American Rico Hoye in five rounds. Rumors are that if a rematch is to happen, Jones may make an historic trip over to the United Kingdom in his attempt to remove the IBF title from Woods’ grasp.
