Overview

• Park Si-hun visited Roy Jones Jr.’s Pensacola gym on May 30, 2023, where Jones expected an interview and instead found Park in the ring with both families present.
• Park handed over the 1988 light middleweight gold medal and, through his son’s translation, told Jones, “It belongs to you.”
• The reunion, filmed by director Johnny Sweet, was posted Wednesday on Jones’ YouTube channel after being kept private for more than two years.
• The International Olympic Committee said in 1997 it found no evidence to support bribery allegations tied to the controversial 3-2 decision in Seoul, following a U.S. Olympic Committee request for an inquiry in 1996.
• Jones later earned the Val Barker Trophy and won world titles in four weight classes, while Park retired from competition, reported years of shame and depression, and eventually became a coach.
