Bad hair day?

Jet, Jan 27, 2003

BAD HAIR DAY?: There is a chance boxing promoter Don King (r) may change his trademark spiky hairstyle after all. Light heavyweight champion Roy Jones Jr. presented King with a digitally altered photo for a proposed new haircut (a mohawk) during a news conference in downtown Los Angeles. Jones, who is moving up to the heavyweight division to fight WBA champ John Ruiz on March 1 in Las Vegas, challenged King to get a haircut if Jones wins. Brandishing shears, Jones said, "Stepping up in weight to fight the heavyweight champion is a big risk. It is the biggest challenge of my career. In return, I want King to accept a challenge, also. When I beat John Ruiz, I'm going to give King a haircut." Jones will attempt to make history by becoming the first middleweight world champion to win the world heavyweight since 1891.
