The legendary former four-division world champion Roy Jones has named the best boxer in the world at the moment.

He highlighted Naoya Inoue but placed Terence Crawford at the top.

"Naoya Inoue is an excellent boxer, despite performing in Japan. He doesn't get the credit he deserves because we don't see him often. But he should be number one in the P4P rankings.

Inoue lacks proper competition; he can't get a big fight. In the U.S., he's not very well known because we don't have prominent boxers in his weight class. Naoya is the best boxer regardless of weight category, but he hasn't had the opposition to definitively prove it to everyone. Therefore, I have to put Terence Crawford at number one," said Roy Jones.

Today, we reported that the undisputed super bantamweight world champion Naoya Inoue will have his next fight against TJ Doheny.

According to Top Rank's official page, the bout will take place on September 3 in Tokyo, the undefeated champion's home country.
