He was a guest on YouTuber-turned-prizefighter's two previous undercards.

Taylor may have finally found his most prominent dance partner after meeting Jones, 53, at an event for celebrity boxers.

SunSport reported that he said: "We spoke in person, and he agreed fight me, if it is on a pay per view scale like Showtime.

"So verbally, we both agreed that we would fight each other in august, if possible on the Jake Paul card."

Taylor, who was 22 when he beat Taylor, then lost to Tommy Fury in August, and then lost to Chris Avila (29), in December.

Due to Jones' age, a fight with Jones will not be sanctioned professionally. Instead, it will be a spectacle.

Taylor said: "Me, Roy spoke and it would be an exhibition match, since he's older.

"We don't know if he would get his medicals cleared, but it is more likely that the fight will happen because this is a special exhibition.

"What body sanction will sanction that as a pro-fight? Nobody. However, it could be a special exhibition match. Yes, it is possible.

Jones last fought in 2018. However, he made a remarkable comeback in November 2020 to face Mike Tyson.

The eight-round show went on and Taylor voted for the boxing icons.

He stated that Roy did all he could with the limited time he had.

"If he had six more months to train, I think he would have had more time to condition."

"Roy is the best age, and someone in their 50s can act like they were in their 20s."

"But Roy did his best and I was impressed. Many people were impressed by Roy Jones and Mike Tyson.

"Roy still has it. Don't be fooled."
