Video: 46-year-old Roy Jones Jr brutally knocks out Willie Williams

Captain hook lands flush

Ben Kiely

There are few people over 45 that are as scary as Roy Jones Jr.

Roy Jones Jr isn’t letting ever encroaching prospect of death hold him back from knocking fools out.

The 46-year-old made his return to the US boxing scene last night following his fighting tour of Eastern Europe and he certainly came back with a bang. The former four-division champion made sure it was an early night by viciously knocking out over-matched opponent Willie Williams (14-9-2) in the second round of their bout in North Carolina.

After pummelling Williams senseless with some brutal haymakers, Jones eventually sent him crashing to the canvas in a heap with a pair of huge left hooks.

You can check out how he shut Williams’ lights out in the video embedded below.

There are unconfirmed reports circulating that Jones Jr needed to end the fight early because the old folk’s home needed him back by 11 sharp.
