A Candid Conversation Between Glen Johnson and Roy Jones Jr.
In a lively, exclusive meetup, former boxing champions Glen Johnson and Roy Jones Jr. sit down to chat about their storied careers, the evolution of boxing, and the future of the sport.
Roy Jones Jr.: Glen! It’s been a while, my man. How’ve you been holding up?
Glen Johnson: Roy, always good to see you. I’ve been doing well, keeping busy with the kids and, of course, still in the gym every now and then. How about you?
Roy Jones Jr.: Same here, Glen. You know, we never really stop being part of the boxing world, do we? Speaking of which, what do you think about how the sport’s evolved since our prime days?
Glen Johnson: Man, the sport’s definitely changed a lot. There’s more emphasis on social media presence now. Back in our day, it was all about the grind in the gym and making sure you performed under the lights. Remember those days, Roy?
Roy Jones Jr.: (laughs) Oh, I remember alright. Those were some tough, gritty times. You really had to prove you belonged in the ring. These days, it feels like fighters are more interested in how many followers they have than how many rounds they can go.
Glen Johnson: True that. But you know what, it’s not all bad. The increased visibility can help fighters get more opportunities. Although, I do wish there was a bit more focus on honing skills the old-school way. Speaking of which, what did you think of that last fight between the young prospects?
Roy Jones Jr.: It was impressive. They’ve got talent, no doubt. But I still think they could learn a thing or two about resilience and strategy from our era. We had to face some real challenges. Like that time you knocked me out in ’04. Gave me a lot to think about!
Glen Johnson: (smiling) Oh man, that was a tough bout for both of us. We’ve had some memorable battles, Roy. And those experiences are priceless. Luckily, we both came out of it with our health and wits intact, which is more than a lot of fighters can say.
Roy Jones Jr.: Absolutely. It’s important to stress to the new generation that longevity in this sport isn’t just about winning. It’s about staying healthy, being smart, and knowing when to hang up the gloves. By the way, Glen, are you coaching now?
Glen Johnson: Yeah, I’ve been working with some young fighters, showing them the ropes and emphasizing the importance of discipline and hard work. Seeing their progress is incredibly rewarding. What about you, Roy? You back in the ring training the next big stars?
Roy Jones Jr.: You know it. I’m always looking to share what I’ve learned. Helping the next generation gives me a sense of purpose. Plus, it keeps me young! Speaking of which, let’s not forget to catch some live fights together sometime soon. It’ll be just like the old days.
Glen Johnson: You read my mind, Roy. Let’s make it happen. Here’s to the future of boxing and the lessons we can pass down. Until then, let’s keep punching, my friend.
Roy Jones Jr.: Cheers to that, Glen. Keep fighting the good fight!
