Did Roy Jones Jr. just call out Anderson Silva? Boxing legend tells Silva to ‘stay ready’

Roy Jones Jr. finally got round to watching Anderson Silva’s latest boxing match as the former multi-division champion congratulated ‘The Spider’ on his dominant performance against Bruno Machado on Saturday.

Jones, now 53, told 47-year-old Silva to ‘stay ready so I don’t have to’.
