Tickets for the Jeff Lacy-Roy Jones Jr. are now on sale.
Lacy (25-2, 17 KOs), the former IBF super middleweight champion of St. Petersburg, will take on Pensacola’s Jones (53-5, 39 KOs), an eight-time world champion, August 15 at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum and Convention Center in Biloxi.
The event, dubbed “Hook City,” will be broadcast live on pay-per-view. Tickets, which are available via Ticketmaster.com, start at $25, while the most expensive ticket is $150. Tickets can also be purchased by calling (800) 745-3000.
By all indications, Jones has his sights set beyond Lacy. Two weeks ago on a video press conference, Jones said he wants to travel to Australia after this fight to take on Danny Green. Coincidentally, Green is scheduled to face Julio Cesar Dominguez on the Lacy-Jones undercard.
And in the interview, Jones sounded the least bit worried about Lacy.
“It’s very realistic after I get past Jeff Lacy,” Jones said during a televised interview. “I’ve got Jeff Lacy in front of me; I got to wipe him out the way, then I’ll come to Australia and fight Danny Green.”
Jones, a 1988 Olympic silver medalist, and Lacy, a member of the 2000 Olympic boxing team, will fight at the light heavyweight limit. That’s because, according to Lacy, Jones didn’t want to come down to super middleweight.
