One of the most famous stages in the world will hosted the world of boxing when Radio City Music Hall hosted the first-ever sporting event in it's 67-year history. Undisputed light heavyweight world-champion Roy Jones, Jr. (40-1-0, 33 KOs), took center stage when he defended his title against WBA number-two ranked challenger David Telesco (23-2-0 19KOs).

The 34-year-old Jones, Jr. had successfully defended his title on three separate occasions, most recently against Reggie Johnson on June 5 when he unified the title with a unanimous decision. Telesco, 31, had won his last twelve fights. In his last bout he was crowned USBA light heavyweight champion when he took the title from Will Taylor on an eleventh-round knockout.

Preceding the Jones-Telesco battle were heavyweights David Izon (24-3-0, 20 KOs) and Derrick Jefferson (22-0-1, 18 KOs) in the featured undercard. Both 31 years in age, the two fighters are among the most highly regarded prospects of their division. Izon, whose manager is Roy Jones, Jr., most recently defeated Garing Lane in his August tune-up for his Radio City fight. Jefferson's latest victory was suffered by Maurice Harris via sixth-round TKO on September 19th.
