Jones to fight Santiago for cruiserweight title

Wednesday, 15 September 2010 13:43 Last Updated on Wednesday, 15 September 2010 13:48 Written by Staff Reports

Roy Jones Jr. and Danny Santiago will fight Oct. 7 at the Pensacola Civic Center.

Jones, 41, a Pensacola native, hopes to extend his hall-of-fame-worthy career against Santiago, 37, a gym owner from Ocala who was among the boxers featured in the short-lived reality show “The Contender,” which aired on ESPN in 2007.

Neither fighter pretends the bout to fill a vacant regional cruiserweight title is more than an opportunity to keep boxing.

With a win, Santiago could earn a chance to fight for a cruiserweight title.
