Boxingscene reports that Roy Jones Jr. would like to fight Anderson Silva...with the former teasing this boxing vs. MMA dream matchup yet again.

The fight's rumors gained steam as USADA and the UFC have confirmed the banned substances which showed up in Silva's drug tests that he failed before his scheduled fight with Kelvin Gastelum last year. Jones vs. Silva inside a boxing ring could be a realistic possibility.

In fact, considering that Silva could receive an 8-year ban from MMA owing to this being his second failed steroid test, he could indeed make the transition to the boxing ring. Jones has confirmed that he'll come out of retirement later this year, if need be just to fight Silva.
