PROMOTER DON KING RESOLVES GLOVE DISPUTE SO TITANS CAN CLASH
Source: Don King Productions
TRINIDAD-JONES TO PUT ON ‘EVERLASTING’ FIGHT TONIGHT
NEW YORK, NEW YORK (Jan. 19)—The world’s greatest boxing promoter, Don King, spent his Saturday morning mediating a glove dispute prior to “Clash of the Titans” featuring Felix Trinidad and Roy Jones at Madison Square Garden Saturday night.
King resolved the dispute for the featured bout and it is now all systems go for the fight card beginning at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT on HBO pay-per-view.
“The glove issue has been solved,” said King. “I met with Roy Jones Jr.’s representatives and Papa Trinidad and his lawyer Nicolas Medina in Roy’s suite across the street from the Garden. We came to an agreement that Superman Roy Jones Jr. will wear Everlast gloves, just as it agreed in the contract.”
Jones said he would have preferred to wear Grant gloves, but there are no problems.
“I wanted to wear the gloves to represent my fraternity, Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE), the largest fraternity in the world,” said Jones. “I want to knock Tito Trinidad out for the Heartland of America. I wanted to wear my [Grant] gloves because they were made to match my outfit—the colors of TKE—burgundy and gray. Because I know that all of the TKE’s across the land will be watching me tonight.
“I tried to do good for the TKE, but Tito’s father was obstinate and Tito wouldn’t even talk to me. Tito wouldn’t even give me the courtesy of a conversation. He sent his daddy and his daddy’s lawyer up to my suite to talk to me. If I knew his daddy was going to be talking so much, I would have brought my daddy, Big Roy, here to fight him.
“I have to wear Everlast gloves so Tito will get an everlasting lick upside his head. The pride of Pensacola will be at stake and I am going to appease my fans, like I have been saying all along, a KO in fo’.”
