It belongs to you,” Park said via his son, who acted as his translator.The touching gesture brought Jones Jr to tears.“Wow, that is crazy,” said Jones Jr, as he stared at the medal, almost lost for words.Captioning the moment on X, he posted: “In 1988, I was robbed of the gold medal in what became one of the biggest controversies in boxing history.“By the grace of God, a couple of years ago, the man who won that medal made the trip from South Korea to my home to return it to me, feeling it was rightfully mine.”What did Roy Jones Jr go on to achieve in professional boxing?YouTube - Roy Jones Jr35 years later, Park travelled to Florida to give the gold to Jones Jr, bringing the Hall of Famer to tears[/caption]YouTube - Roy Jones JrJones Jr finally got his hands on the medal he was cruelly denied[/caption]Jones Jr is one of the greatest fighters to ever liveGettyWhile he was cheated out of gold at the pinnacle of amateur boxing, his brilliance could not be denied in the paid ranks.Undeterred by his Olympic heartbreak, Jones Jr turned over as a professional in 1989 at 20 years old.In 1993, he picked up his first world title by beating Bernard Hopkins for the IBF middleweight title during a remarkable 34-fight winning streak that was only snapped by a disqualification loss to Montell Griffin in 1997.It wouldn’t be until 2004 that Jones Jr fell to his first legitimate loss – a brutal second-round knockout to Antonio Tarver.By then, Jones Jr had compiled a 49-1 record, winning world titles in four separate weight classes.So talented was ‘Captain Hook’ that he decided to move up two divisions to face John Ruiz for the WBA heavyweight title in 2003.Jones Jr stepped on the scales at 193lbs, conceding 33lbs to his far bigger foe.However, the gamble paid off.
