Former four-division world champion Roy Jones Jr. (66-9, 47 KOs) faces internet bodybuilding sensation Robert Wilmote, also known as "NDO Champ" in an exhibition boxing bout in Miami.
The metaverse is an evolving 3-D digital environment that enables lifelike personal and professional encounters online by utilizing virtual reality, augmented reality, and other cutting-edge internet and semiconductor technology.
Jones, 54, last entered the ring in November 2020 to face fellow star Mike Tyson in an exhibition match. Although Tyson seemed to be in complete control during the fight, it was officially declared a split-decision draw.
The 1988 Olympic silver medallist defeated Scott Sigmon in his final bout in February 2018, improving his career record to 66-9. Even though the majority of them were against weaker opposition than he did at his best, he won 12 of his last 13 fights.
His opponent, the 38-year-old social media sensation Wilmote has had some success in bodybuilding, including second-place finish in the super heavyweight division in the 2019 Arnold Classic.
