Roy Jones wanted to make his boxing return to Pensacola a special event.
He’s hoping the first-ever joint venture between boxing and mixed martial arts provides that kind of breakthrough.
Jones, 40, a Washington High graduate, who remains one of boxing’s marquee names, presided today at a news conference at the Pensacola Civic Center to promote his March 21 fight card entitled “March Badness.” Viewers can watch a replay of the press conference at right.
The event at the Civic Center features Jones (52-5, 38 KOs), an eight-time world boxing champion, against Omar Sheika (27-8, 18 KOs.), a Patterson, N.J. resident, who fought for a world super middleweight title in 2000 and is well respected for his style.
“I love Pensacola and I’ve been wanting to bring a fight back here,” Jones said. “I think we’ve got a great lineup.”
In addition, the undercard will be headlined by three MMA fights featuring Seth “The Silverback” Petruzelli (10-4, 9KOs) from Fort Myers, who is coming off a national televised win against Kimbo Slice — the first loss of Slice’s career. Another MMA fight will feature Jeff “The Snowman” Monson of Olympia, Wash., who was recently featured in ESPN The Magazine as the most intimidating MMA fighter in the sport.
Tickets went on sale at 10 a.m. today and Civic Center officials were pleased with first-day sales. Tickets are priced from $28 to $128 seats at ringside. The event will be offered world wide on pay-per-view at $29.95 through In-Demand, Dish Network, DirectTV and on the Web through SecondsOut.com and MaxBoxing.com
“This is the kind of hybrid event that has never been done on this level,” said John Wirt, the chief promoter for Jones’ Square Ring Promotions Inc. “It’s really nice to be doing this on a national level from Pensacola, where Roy always wanted to come back and do a fight.”
The Blue Angels’ mission is to enhance Navy and Marine Corps recruiting efforts and to represent the naval service to the United States, its elected leadership and foreign nations. The Blue Angels serve as positive role models and goodwill ambassadors for the U. S. Navy and Marine Corps.
A Blue Angels flight demonstration exhibits choreographed refinements of skills possessed by all naval aviators. It includes the graceful aerobatic maneuvers of the four-plane Diamond Formation, in concert with the fast-paced, high-performance maneuvers of its two Solo Pilots. Finally, the team illustrates the pinnacle of precision flying, performing maneuvers locked as a unit in the renowned, six-jet Delta Formation.
The team is stationed at Forrest Sherman Field, Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida, during the show season. However, the squadron spends January through March training pilots and new team members at Naval Air Facility El Centro, California.
The Blue Angels are scheduled to fly 66 air shows at 35 air show sites in the United States during the 2007 season, as the team celebrates 20 years of flying the F/A-18 Hornet. Last season, more than 15 million spectators watched the Blue Angels perform.

Lee House - New Bed and Breakfast, Pensacola Florida
The commercial interior design company, Defined Interiors, Inc. www.definedinteriors.com, will be donating its time and services to aid the rebuilding effort for an important landmark in Pensacola, Florida. The Lee House has been an important part of the neighborhood since it was built in 1866 and is now being rebuilt as a bed and breakfast.
Navarre, Florida (IPRWIRE) Wednesday, November 26, 2008 – Molly Riley, owner of commercial interior design company Defined Interiors, is lending her support for the second year in a row to the Pensacola Symphony and Guild. For the 2008 Wayne-Dalton Designer’s Show House Fundraiser she will be lending her designs and furnishing two rooms in the Lee House, a newly rebuilt landmark in the area.
The Lee House was originally built in 1866 and was moved to its current location in the 1960s. Since then it has suffered serious damage in both a fire in 2001 and Hurricane Ivan a few years later. The Lee House has been lovingly rebuilt by a local couple, Pat and Norma Murray. It is now a bed and breakfast that will allow many people, both local and visitors, to relive the warm history that it represents.
The scheduled grand reopening of the Lee House is Dec. 5th, 2008. From this day on through the 21st there will be tours of the building from 10 am to 4 pm Monday through Saturday. On Sundays tours will be from 1 to 4 pm.
