Sixteen years after they first met, Roy Jones and Bernard Hopkins will finally fight again.

The light heavyweight stars signed an agreement Friday night to meet in a rematch sometime in the first quarter of 2010, according to Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer and Square Ring CEO John Wirt.

The deal is contingent on Jones' first winning a planned Dec. 2 fight in Australia against Australian cruiserweight Danny Green.

Under the terms of the agreement, it is a 50-50 split of the revenue. However, if there is a knockout, the winner of the fight will get 60 percent and the loser 40 percent.

When Hopkins and Jones first met in 1993, Jones won a unanimous decision to claim a vacant middleweight title.

Finally! Its finally gonna happen! Thank god! I can't wait! I definitely think Hopkins takes this one since Hopkins ran through Pavlik whose way more dangerous at this stage then Roy and Roy won't stay on Hopkins as relentless as Joe to wear Hopkins down or without getting caught doing so. I definitely have Hopkins winning and I definitely believe he could and should KO him but its all up to Hopkins with how he wants to fight and win this fight.
