Roy Jones Jr. vs. Bryant Brannon, billed as Charity Bash, was a professional boxing match contested on October 4, 1996 for the IBF super middleweight title.

[1] In early September 1996, it was announced that Roy Jones Jr., the reigning IBF super middleweight champion and The Ring magazine's top ranked pound-for-pound fighter, would face Bryant Brannon, the IBF's number-one ranked super middleweight challenger, at The Theater at Madison Square Garden the following month.

Jones and Brannon would headline a boxing card dubbed the Charity Bash, named as such because Jones, with help from cable network HBO, would donate the proceeds earned from the gate to three non-profit organizations; the New York City Police Foundation, the NYPD Self Support Group and the Congress of Racial Equality, as well as former boxer Gerald McClellan, who had been severely injured the previous year in a bout against Nigel Benn.

The Jones–Brannon bout was supplemented with a WBA welterweight title fight featuring champion Ike Quartey defending against challenger Oba Carr.

Finally, roughly midway through the round, Jones landed a left hook which wobble Brannon and sent him on the defensive for the first time.
