Roy Jones Jr. — I’m Running for Mayor
Boxing legend Roy Jones Jr.’s career isn’t over — in fact, he tells TMZ Sports, he’s officially taking a shot at a brand new title … MAYOR. 45-year-old Jones — the first former middleweight champion to win a heavyweight title in 106 years back in 2003 — tells us, he plans to run for Mayor of his hometown Pensacola, Florida at the next election. And he’s serious too — the HBO analyst says he’s already prepared all the necessary paperwork … and got TEN TIMES the required number of signatures to make himself eligible (nearly 5,000 to be exact).
As for his policies — Jones says he wants to focus on children, telling us, “A lot of kids don’t have proper leadership at home. I’m willing to try and be that person for them.” He adds, “I tell the kids, don’t fight in the streets. Go into MMA, go into boxing. Do something that someone can be proud of you for.”
Jones is confident he can win too — “I’ve been opposed my whole life, and I’ve always won.” Can’t argue with that.

If Arnold's juiced backside could become governor, then I'm sure Roy has a good chance.

If Boris Johnson can be Mayor then Roy could be President

This. 100%. The idea of him and Collins still getting it on is horrifying.

Arnie had big Conservative buddies to donate big time to his campaign and he was mainstream..
Bit different for a washed up fighter..
But lets wish him luck..

Arnold got into politics and worked his way up the food chain. He was Bush's appointment to the council on physical fitness. He also did a lot of work with the special Olympics. Arnold's had a carefully orchestrated run over a decade. He didn't just arrive he played the game.
He is and always has been a self serving pretty disingenuous guy.
