Chris Lytle's boxing days are coming as the retired UFC welterweight fighter faces the multi-titled superstar Roy Jones, Jr., an opponent he personally chose. It seems that after his MMA stint, he's looking to get more action.

Since his retirement in 2011 after a submission win against Dan Hardy, "Lights Out" ran for the Indiana State Senate seat, (but lost, unfortunately), and has continued his services as a firefighter for the State's fire department.

But after three years since he hung up his MMA gloves, Chris Lytle's boxing interest has come as he is now looking to lace up some gloves. His opponent of choice: multi-titled boxing superstar Roy Jones Jr.

"Lights Out" is no stranger to the boxing scene. Prior to his MMA career, he fought in 15 professional boxing fights, and even won the 175-pound Indiana State boxing championship. This has given him the confidence to step into the boxing ring for one last time, against one of the best in the game.

"I've always wanted to have one more boxing match, sort of like a retirement fight from there, too," Lytle said in an exclusive interview with Bloody Elbow. "I think Roy would be the perfect opponent, because he's a little older, like myself, and, he's slowed down a step or two."

"In my opinion, he's always been one of the greatest boxers in the world. For about 10 years or so, he just dominated the ranks," he added.

For a competitive fighter like Chris Lytle, getting to have that one last boxing match would complete his repertoire of accomplishments in combat sports. Chris Lytle's boxing venture would be able to scratch the itch of his desire for one final run at high-level competition.

"Coming out for one boxing match makes sense to me, because it puts an end to an era for me," Lytle continued. "It's my retirement from the sport I started in. It's closure for me. I know it would be much easier on me to do a boxing camp than to do an MMA camp. The wear and tear is significantly less."
