In a meeting that was 35 years in the making, Roy Jones Jnr and Park Si-Hun met face to face in May 2023, with the South Korean boxer handing his Olympic gold medal over to Jones. The two met in the light middleweight gold medal match of the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea. Jones dominated the fight, outlanding his opponent by nearly triple, but losing a 3-2 decision that has been decried as perhaps the worst in Olympic boxing history. Park, for his part, acknowledged Jones’ dominance in the fight afterwards, lifting up a dejected Jones in the ring.
