Jones' son committed suicide

Former four weight class world champion Roy Jones has announced the death of his son.

"Sadly, my son DeAndre took his own life on Saturday. And I'm very thankful to God for the opportunity to come home on Friday and spend the last night of his life with him and his family. I know a lot of people are going through hard times right now, but nothing is worth taking a life. God gives it and he should be the one to take it. Please respect my privacy and my family's life as we go through this loss. Thank you for your support," Jones wrote on social media.
