DiBella and Arum spoke about the fight on Friday, but Arum has been so busy with his No. 1 priority -- promoting the Nov. 5 Manny Pacquiao-Jessie Vargas pay-per-view fight -- that he told DiBella to talk to Top Rank vice president Carl Moretti about Diaz. But Arum told ESPN he has no objection to Crawford-Diaz, adding that he is not familiar with Diaz.

“I wouldn’t know Diaz from the man in the moon, so I told Lou to call Moretti, who is handling the Crawford opponent,” Arum said. “But that’s good that [Diaz] is a gold medalist. If you say he’s a good fighter, why not? I gave Carl the job to work that fight and get the opponent, but it’s fine with me.”


^^^ That's the last thing he said in regards to the potential matchup....that was 3 days ago (Friday, October 21st).

Roy Jones Jr: I'm Addicted To Boxing, No Retirement Right Now


By Miguel Rivera

Former four division champion Roy Jones Jr., who turns 48-years-old in January, is not looking to call time on his career just yet.



Back in August at the Pensacola Bay Center in Pensacola, Florida , Jones (64-9, 46 KOs) suffered a serious injury during his lopsided ten round unanimous decision win over journeyman Rodney Moore (17-12-2, 7 KOs). After the fight, Jones revealed that he suffered a right bicep tear in the fifth round and basically fought the rest of the way with one hand.

This was the second win for Jones since getting knocked out cold last December in Russia by former WBO cruiserweight champion Enzo Maccarinelli.

Jones is just about fully recovered from his injury and plans to continue fighting.

The talented fighter, who at one time was the number one pound-for-pound boxer in the world, sees no reason to hang up the gloves just yet. He wants to challenge himself against some of the best fighters out there.

Jones received Russian citizenship last year and began a second career of sorts overseas where he's still a very big name with the ability to sell a lot of tickets. Even that had a disaster when Maccarinelli knocked him out cold before a stunned Russian crowd.

"I'm addicted to boxing. I don't think that it's difficult for me to retire, but right now I don't want to. It's something I really enjoy and that I'm still capable of doing," Jones told Erika Montoya.

"It's becoming rarer to see fights like the one with Kovalev and Ward. Where both are at their best . It is increasingly rare that those types of fights happen. In the case of an old fighter like myself, I want to see myself with opponents who require a real effort from me. If I don't have a challenge, I don't feel good. I don't want to mislead my fans."
