Collins’ grudge match with Jones could take place in Ireland

The Steve Collins versus Roy Jones Junior fight could go ahead in Ireland if enough people show an interest, according to Collins’ coach and brother, Pascal.

Collins 48, and Jones 44, both former world champions, are due to meet for an “Unfinished Business” verbal spar in a questions and answers session at the Red Cow Hotel in Dublin next month.

Collins, who last fought in 1997, announced recently he was granted a licence to box again. The Boxing Union of Ireland confirmed the ex-WBO super middleweight champion did not apply to them for a licence.Russia and Dubai have been touted as possible venues for a fight which Collins claims Jones ducked in his prime, but don’t rule out Ireland.
