Gloves off as brawl erupts before Jones weigh-in

A MASS brawl erupted prior to the weigh-in for the potential history making heavyweight title fight between Roy Jones and John Ruiz in Las Vegas tonight.

Jones, 34, is attempting to become the first former middleweight champion in over a hundred years to win a heavyweight title.

The feat was last achieved by Bob Fitzsimmons who knocked out “Gentleman” Jim Corbett in the 14th round of their bout in 1887.
