Roy Jones Jr. vs. Virgil Hill was a professional boxing match contested on April 25, 1998.

[3] Following his August 1997 victory over Montell Griffin, Roy Jones Jr. was linked to his WBC mandatory Michael Nunn.

[4][5] However, in November 1997 he vacated his belt to move up to heavyweight with a $6,000,000 deal to face former undisputed champion Buster Douglas on the table.

[6] Ultimately however Jones's father convinced him to stay at light heavyweight, telling him he was "risking his life" by fighting Douglas.

He rose at the count of 8, but referee Fred Steinwinder III waved it off giving Jones a KO victory.
