Roy Jones Jr's opponent announced, Tank Abbott vs Dan Severn set for UR Fight

After a period of speculation, former champion and boxing legend Roy Jones Jr finally has an opponent for the UR Fight Pay Per View event.

After an initial campaign in which a fan would be selected online to fight boxing great Roy Jones Jr, UR Fight, the organization holding the event, faced the obstacle of being forced to ensure that the selected opponent had to have a professional record.

Well, that hurdle has been cleared. Sort of. Enter MMA fighter Vyron Phillips, a native of Minnesota that's been living and training in Western Canada and is ranked #44 in the listing for Canadian welterweights according to Tapology.
