Faulks Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Arkansas boxer dies after pro debut Fightnews.com is sad to report that pro debuting heavyweight Anthony Jones passed away Sunday morning just hours after after a second round KO loss to Quincy Palmer (2-0, 2 KOs) on Saturday night at Fitness Unlimited in Benton, Arkansas. An autopsy will be performed to see if Jones entered the bout with pre-existing medical problems and to determine the exact cause of death. According to KATV in Little Rock, Arkansas, Jones is survived by an aunt and a brother. Donations for his funeral can be made to the First Baptist Church in El Dorado, Arkansas.

iamasadlittleboy Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Was he a Stacy Goodson fighter? I don't think so, Stacy was one of those breaking the story though I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBride Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I remember him getting lots of abuse from American fans on Boxrec for putting guys in with fighters far superior than them, in the Arkansas area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
