Omar Sheika willing to fight Roy Jones

PRESS RELEASE: If Roy Jones vs. Anthony Hanshaw can't be worked out, Omar Sheika has let it be known he would like the chance to fight Roy Jones. Here is an open letter released today from Sheika to Jones: "Roy, I have now heard two different promoters say that you want to fight me.  By this communication, I want to go on record saying that I will fight you in your next bout.  You have always done things your own way in boxing and you should not start doing things other people’s way now.  A fight between me and you will be tremendously entertaining to the fans.  I know that you are an all time great and a true warrior, but I am 29 years old and truly believe that if we fight I will knock you out.  Everybody knows that win, lose or draw, I am never in a bad fight and I always come ready for war.  When and if we fight, I guarantee the fans that there will be fire-works and the fans won’t be disappointed because I will retire the former pound for pound king." -Omar Sheika
