To go at it..

Why?

Steve Collins has sensationally announced he is return to the ring to fight Roy Jones Jr.
The former WBO middleweight and super middleweight champion has not fought since 1997, but now plans to step back through the ropes to take on the American legend.
The pair were reportedly ready to fight on several occasions during the 90s, but Collins believes his rival always came up with an excuse to dodge him.
But the Irishman now looks set to get his chance to prove himself against the four-time world champion, who has won 55 of his 63 professional contests.
Collins, now 48, told Keys and Gray: “It’s not a comeback as such, at my age I’m too old for that, but it will be the end of a 15-year grudge.
“It’s a fight Roy Jones needs. He claims to be one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters around but he refused to fight me.
