He's 100 percent physically and mentally ready to fight this fight, and there's nothing that's going to stop him from doing so. Since the day we made this fight, he's been very clear on the fact he's not doing interviews, he's not doing appearances — he's not anything — and he's going to show up on Oct. 1. He stuck to his word.

I think it's a perfect fight for both guys. You have Hopkins, who is a legend in the middleweight division, and the same is true of Roy in the light heavyweight division. He owns the win over Hopkins and it's the right fight for both guys at this time.

We have a deal. I have Richard's word that Hopkins is in. And Roy told me, 'Let's go.' Everybody reviewed what was on the table and were able to agree to it.

The reality of it is that he could not live with himself if he didn't attempt to come back and beat this guy. Antonio Tarver has been chasing Roy Jones his entire career. They've had their two fights. It didn't go the way Roy wanted it to the last time, and he wants to turn that around.
