Only box left to tick is Roy Jones, insists Collins

Steve Collins, Ireland’s former middleweight and super middleweight champion, insisted yesterday that his long-cherished grudge fight with Roy Jones Jr. needs only the American’s nod to go ahead.

Just don’t call it a comeback.

The Dubliner is now 48 but pointed out that so too is Bernard Hopkins — who last month became the oldest man to claim a world title when he defeated 30-year-old Tavoris Cloud in an IBF light-heavyweight bout.
