Jones Jr., Woods to fight Sept. 7

MIAMI - Roy Jones Jr.&#39;s title bout against Britain&#39;s Clinton Woods will be held on Sept. 7, but a site for the fight has yet to be selected. <br> <br> An official announcement for the fight, Jones&#39; mandatory World Boxing Council defense, will not come for at least a week, Brad Jacobs, one of Jones&#39; advisers, said Tuesday. <br> <br> Jones, the undisputed light heavyweight champion, is 46-1 with 37 knockouts. Woods, the WBC&#39;s top-rated contender, is 31-1 with 18 knockouts. <br> <br> ``This news is the culmination of lots of hard work over the last year or so,&#39;&#39; said Woods&#39; manager, Dennis Hobson. ``Obviously I&#39;m very pleased for Clinton, as he will finally get the chance to show what he can do.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Jacobs said that while no site has been picked, ``Britain is a strong contender.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Other potential sites were Las Vegas, Atlantic City, San Diego, Portland, Ore., and Biloxi, Miss., Jones said. <br> <br> If Britain is to play host, it would be the first professional overseas match for Jones, who has shown a past reluctance to fight abroad. <br> <br> Jacobs said that is because most previous fights have been against American boxers and it made sense to keep the match on home soil. <br> <br> ``I don&#39;t think it as much reluctance as it is necessity,&#39;&#39; Jacobs said. ``Roy has shown a desire to go overseas.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Jones&#39; only overseas matches were as an amateur, ending in the gold medal bout at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. In that fight, Jones routed Park Si-hun of South Korea but lost a majority decision that embarrassed even the referee. <br> <br> ``We must remember that Jones has never fought outside of the States before and the likelihood is that he won&#39;t again,&#39;&#39; said Richard Poxon of Dennis Hobson Promotions. <br> <br> Financial terms for the fight have not been finalized, Jacobs said.
