Roy Jones Jr. vs. Antonio Tarver II, billed as More Than Personal, was a professional boxing match contested for the WBA (Unified), WBC, IBA, IBO, The Ring, and vacant WBF light heavyweight titles.
Following his victory, Jones initially talked about returning to the heavyweight division to take on Mike Tyson in what would be his final fight.
The manner of Jones' loss to Tarver was arguably the biggest surprise in boxing since James "Buster" Douglas had knocked out Mike Tyson on February 11, 1990 as a 42/1 outsider.
[3] A little over four months later, Jones returned to face Glen Johnson in an attempt to regain the IBF light heavyweight title (Johnson had defeated Clinton Woods to capture the title after Tarver vacated it just prior to the first fight with Jones).
[5] After Tarver defeated Johnson by unanimous decision in a rematch to recapture his titles, a rubbermatch with Jones was set for October 1, 2005.
