Carol City, Florida native Rick Ross has been confirmed to walk eight-time world champ Roy Jones Jr. to the ring to face Felix "Tito" Trinidad during the "Bring on the Titans" boxing event, AllHipHop.com has learned.

 

The highly anticipated "Bring on the Titans" Pay-Per-View boxing match takes place this Saturday (January 19) at Madison Square Garden in New York.

 

A portion of the proceeds of the event will be donated to charity.

 

Ross and Jones have teamed to help raise funds for the Susan G. Komen Foundation, the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists.

 

Jones and Trinidad have already donated $50,000 each to Komen for the Cure, which raises awareness regarding breast cancer.

 

"I mentioned to Don that we should try to do something to help, and like everything else he has taken the ball and is running with it." Jones, an illustrious eight-time world champion, said. "I’m so happy to be able to help in any way I can to KO cancer. This is a fight that will never end until we conquer this disease that has taken so much from so many."

 

Ross’ appearance on the "Bring on the Titans" HBO pay-per-view event will broadcast the rapper to over 61 million homes when it airs at 9 pm on Jan. 19.

 

Rick Ross’ sophomore album Trilla is due in stores February 19th.

This is BIG - you got a real-hood rapper and two real-good fighters all showing love for the ladies who struggle everyday with a life and death battle with Cancer.  If anybody can't relate to that then that person can't love women because right now that's taking our women out in a bad way!

I think Roy will win but if he get caught with one of those "Tito-in-his-prime" cross-right hooks it's a w-r-a-p.

That's cool about them donating a portion of the proceeds to Susan G. Komen...

But unless Rick Ross is getting in the ring to block the punches, Roy Jones is gonna get his ass knocked out...

AGAIN

I think Rick Ross is a perfect example of what's wrong with hip hop.  Taking the name & persona of a boss, who's still alive is something that another boss wound not do.
Other than that, it's good to see them giving part of the proceeds to charity. That'll probably be a chunk of change.

I used to hate Roy but i feel sorry for him after getting his azz killed by Tarver.Ima root for Roy this time.He may win if he can keep from getting hit in that glass jaw he got.
Rick Ross aint no rapper hes a one hit wonder so im not even commenting on his azz.His big azz need to be a bodyguard and leave the rap to normal size folk.

I would not say they both are washed up yet. I will say they are not the best, but top ten ain't bad. How many of you cats saying they washed up can say you are in the top ten of what you do in the world? Probably none of you.
