IN JANUARY 1998 Herbie Hide was chasing Roy Jones for a fight and a date in June was mentioned.
Hide had regained the WBO heavyweight title in the summer of 1997 when he knocked out what was left of Tony Tucker in Norwich. That may be harsh, sorry.
In the first week of January, Hide was making his way to Frank Warren’s office to make a deal for the Jones fight. Jones was close to accepting the offer and HBO were on board with American television rights. This was happening.
