Famed American former world champion in four weight categories Roy Jones Jr. reacted to the announcement of a rematch between absolute champion in the welterweight division Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol.

"Everyone was expecting Artur to try to knock out Bivol. He won by knockout in 20 fights. He didn't try, but he showed his boxing skills, although that's not what he's known for. I hope that in the rematch he will box smart, but will be set up for a knockout," Jones said in an interview with YouTube channel SecondsOut.

Recall, the rematch of Beterbiev and Bivol will take place on February 22 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
