Two of the greatest boxers in history, Felix “Tito” Trinidad and Roy Jones Jr., have agreed to face each other in a battle of superstars at New York ’s famed Madison Square Garden on Saturday, Jan. 19, 2008, on HBO Pay-Per-View.
Jones is an eight-time world champion, winning belts in the middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight divisions, becoming the first former middleweight champion to win a world heavyweight crown in 100 years.
Trinidad is a five-time world champion with a stunning career knockout ratio of 80 percent that has won titles in the welterweight, junior middleweight and middleweight classes.
