Roy Jones Jr. vs. Reggie Johnson

Roy Jones Jr. vs. Reggie Johnson, billed as ...Then There Was One,[1] was a professional boxing match contested on June 5, 1999, for the WBA, WBC and IBF Light heavyweight championship.

[8] Despite a compromise being reached where a geography neutral judge would be flown in, Garcia opted to withdraw from the bout citing that the row had left him mentally drained.

He again beat the count but as Jirov followed up with string of shot that sent Williams against the ropes referee Paul Sita had seen enough and waved it off.

Jirov became Kazakhstan's first world champion and only the fourth to be born in the former USSR, after Kostya Tszyu, Orzubek Nazarov and Yuri Arbachakov.

[12][13] As a result, the fight went the distance and all three judges, Paul Sita, Cova Jesus and Chuck Hassock, scored it a 120–106 shutout for Jones, as did HBO's unofficial scorer Harold Lederman.

With the victory Jones became the first man to hold all three major light heavyweight belts at once since Michael Spinks in 1985 and the first in any weight division since Pernell Whitaker in 1992.

[14][15][16] His status as "undisputed" was questioned however, as unbeaten WBO titleholder Dariusz Michalczewski was recognized the Lineal champion following his June 1997 victory over Virgil Hill, despite being controversially stripped of his two major belts shortly afterwards.

Johnson meanwhile praised Jones' speed saying "Roy was real quick, I didn't have time to counter his punches.

[20] However, in October the match was abruptly cancelled by promoter Murad Muhammad after Rocchigiani "missed" a press conference, despite having received two certified documents that he was in training camp over in Germany and didn't want jetlag affecting his preparation.
