Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
BOISE, Idaho, July 30 (UPI) -- Roy Jones Jr. made a successful return to boxing Saturday night, capturing the NABO light-heavyweight title over Prince Badi Ajamu in Boise, Idaho.
Jones earned a unanimous decision against the defending champion. The scores were 119-106 on all three of the judges' scorecards.
"People are always going to doubt you," said the 37-year-old Jones, who was fighting in a lightly regarded bout for which he did very little hard training after a 10-month layoff. "But when you believe in God, anything is possible."
Jones, who opened a cut over Ajumu's right eye in the ninth round with a series of solid left hooks, improved his record to 50-4 with 38 knockouts. Ajumu dropped to 25-3-1, with 14 knock-outs.
