I will come out of retirement if the money's right, said boxing legend Roy Jones Jnr.

And he has his eyes set on Aussie boxer Danny Green.

In a brief but wide ranging interview with #15minutesoffame the 6 x boxing superstar said he sought redemption on the 2009 IBO cruiserweight bout that saw him TKO'd in the first round against Green.

The Florida native is in talks with promoters Brian Armatruda and Mick Gatto about a rematch and told '15' he is happy to fight Green on Australian soil, just not in sydney.

Jones jnr also weighed in on this country's boxing and said Jeff Fenech still holds the mantle as our greatest export.

This a massive endorsement for the Marrickville Mauler who fought for his country and coined the term 'Love you's All'

The HBO boxing commentator was in Melbourne this week coaching local fighters and liked the future of the sport in this country.

With rap music another love, Jones jnr tells fans his next album will be released in June July with two new artists joining Body Head Bangerz, Jones jnr's group. 

#15minutesoffame caught up with him inside the Virgin Australia terminal as he was boarding his flight to Sydney to catch up with mate, Anthony Mundine.
