Vitor Belfort is now a ONE Championship fighter. While “The Phenom” can look forward to some exciting MMA bouts under the ONE banner, he’s also keen to take advantage of the fact that organization promotes other martial arts as well \u2014 namely boxing. Speaking shortly after he signed with ONE Championship, Belfort expressed interest in a special rules boxing match <\/a>with the legendary Roy Jones Jr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne fight that I\u2019d really like, I told Chatri [Sityodtong] I\u2019d really like to put on this fight, is me vs. Roy Jones Jr.,” Belfort said. “So Roy, wherever you are, I want to come challenge you for a boxing match \u2014 but with this condition. I\u2019m going to be able to dirty box with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI won\u2019t be able to kick you, but I will be able to dirty box with you. I\u2019m going to be in your face the whole time so it\u2019s going to be a different boxing match. So that would be a very fun thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roy Jones Jr. has now responded to this callout from Vitor Belfort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is what I do for a living. Y\u2019all must\u2019ve forgot. That\u2019s who I am. I love a battle. I love a challenge. So, if that\u2019s what you want, that\u2019s what you get. Ain\u2019t like you gotta ask me twice,\u201d he said (via Boxing Scene)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
