The 49-year-old scored unanimous points prevail upon cruiserweight Scott Sigmon in the place where he grew up of Pensacola in Florida on Thursday.

Jones Jr said just a bout with suspended UFC fighter Anderson Silva could bring him out of retirement.

“That’s the only other fight Roy Jones will return to the ring for. Other than that, chapter’s closed.”, he said.

Jones Jr guaranteed world titles at  light-heavyweight, heavyweight, middleweight and super-middleweight amid his career.

His first expert fight was in May 1989 at the same Civic Center setting in Pensacola where his career shut against Sigmon.

In arranging a record of 66 wins and nine defeats, he beat stellar names, for example, Bernard Hopkins and James Toney. He lost to Joe Calzaghe at New York’s Madison Square Garden in 2008 in what was the Briton’s last fight of an unbeaten 15-year career.

In overcoming John Ruiz at heavyweight to land the WBA world title in 2003, Jones Jr turned into the main man in history to land a world title in the top division having begun a career at light-middleweight.
