By Dan Ambrose: Former four division world champion Roy Jones Jr. turned 43-years-old today, and he doesn’t appear to be slowing down with old age. Jones has lost three out of his last four bouts dating back to 2009 and been stopped in two of them.

However, he’s moved up to the cruiserweight division and chocked up a good win over Max Alexander in his last fight last month. Jones is now targeting a fight with WBC cruiserweight champion Krzsztof Wlodarczyk in March.

Jones wants to capture another world title in a new weight class and feels that the 30-year-old Wlodarczyk is a good fighter to go after to accomplish that. In terms of making money, Jones can’t go wrong with Wlodarczyk because he’s incredibly popular in his native Poland and attracts huge crowds.

A fight between Wlodarczyk would be a big deal in Poland and Jones might have a chance to pull off a win because Wlodarczyk isn’t a big puncher. As long Jones can avoid the occasional right hand from Wlodarczyk when he loads up, Jones should be able to go the full 12 rounds with this guy. Jones hasn’t fought in a world title bout since 2004 when he was beaten by Antonio Tarver by a 12 round unanimous decision.

Huck looking for David Haye and Evander Holyfield to work as sparring partners for him to prepare for Povetkin bout

According to the latest German boxing news, WBO cruiserweight champion Marco Huck (34-1, 25 KO’s) is looking to get former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye and 49-year-old Evander Holyfield to work as sparring partners for him to get ready for his title challenge against WBA heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin (23-0, 16 KO’s) next month on February 25th in Germany.

Why Huck believes that Haye and Holyfield would want to serve a sparring partner for him is the big question. Huck isn’t well known outside of Germany and it’s hard to imagine that big stars like Haye and Holyfield would want to be used as a sparring partner for local star. Huck’s promoter Kalle Sauerland is going to be putting the question to Haye and Holyfield this week to see if they’re interested in doing it. I hope he doesn’t sit around waiting for too long because he might have a long wait. If Huck needs those guys to be his sparring partners for a slow heavyweight with little power like Povetkin, then he’s in deep, deep trouble on February 25th.
