American boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. has announced the tragic death of his 32-year-old son, DeAndre, who committed suicide over the weekend.

Jones Jr. shared the heartbreaking news on Instagram, expressing his gratitude for spending the final evening of DeAndre’s life together. “Unfortunately, my son DeAndre took his life Saturday,” Jones wrote. “I’m so thankful that God allowed me to come home Friday night to spend the last night of his life with me and the family.”

Jones emphasized the importance of valuing life: “I know a lot of people are going through tough times right now, but nothing is worth taking your own life. God gives it and God should be the one to take it away.”

He requested privacy during this difficult time, thanking everyone for their love and support. DeAndre, born on July 1, 1992, was the youngest of three children Jones shared with his wife Natlyn, alongside his brothers Roy III and DeShaun.

Authorities have yet to confirm details surrounding DeAndre’s death. Jones, a former four-weight world champion, is widely considered one of the greatest fighters in boxing history.

Turkish transfer expert Süleyman Rodop has confirmed that Galatasaray will no longer pursue Victor Osimhen following Napoli’s tough demands. Napoli reportedly asked for €40 million upfront and another €35 million by 2026, along with a sell-on clause, after Galatasaray submitted their fourth offer for the Nigerian striker.

Speaking to Turkish outlet habersarikirmizi, Rodop stated that the Turkish club won’t go beyond their final bid. He explained that although Osimhen’s current deal runs out next year, Napoli still hold the option to extend it by another season. Rodop praised Osimhen for his professionalism, saying he handled the situation admirably.

However, Galatasaray have decided to walk away, believing Napoli are dragging the deal unnecessarily. “The latest offer stands, and it won’t change,” Rodop said. “Napoli’s president is just playing games now.” Osimhen is said to be eager to return to Galatasaray permanently, after impressing on loan last season.

We speak the same language, so working together will be smooth.”

Napoli seem to be raising the bar as talks continue over Victor Osimhen’s potential move this summer. The Nigerian striker is eager to make a permanent switch to Galatasaray after a loan spell in Istanbul, but the Turkish club has already had multiple bids turned down.

On Monday, another offer was reportedly rejected, with Napoli now demanding €40 million upfront, another €35 million by 2026, and a sell-on clause. Galatasaray isn’t backing down just yet, but they’re holding firm on their terms, they want to complete the deal for €35 million by 2027 and are not open to including a sell-on clause.
