Ajamu dedicates Jones bout to Floyd Patterson

Press Release:  Prince Badi “The Boxing Prince” Ajamu has dedicated his July 29, 2006 fight, against Roy Jones, Jr., to his cousin, the late two-time world heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson (1956-59, 1960-61). Prince Badi (25-2-1, 14 KOs) will face Jones in the twelve-round main event headlining the “Hold Nothing Back!” pay-per-view show at Qwest Arena in Boise, Idaho. “I’m dedicating my fight with Roy Jones to the memory of my first cousin, Floyd Patterson,” Prince Badi said.  “I thought he did a lot of good things in his time, in and out of the ring. I started boxing very young and my grandfather, Pat Patterson, used to speak a lot about Floyd. I heard so much about him and followed his career.” The suggested retail price for the PPV telecast is only $24.95
