Frater Huckabee Gets World Champion Endorsement

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Former Arkansas Governor and Presidential Candidate Frater Mike Huckabee (Beta-Psi, Arkansas State University) announced the endorsement of boxing great Frater Roy Jones, Jr (Tau-Psi, University of West Florida).

"Governor Huckabee is a man who knows about struggle and how to work hard for what he wants," said Jones. "As a fellow TKE, I know he's a man of honor and integrity."

Frater Jones was named "Fighter of the Decade" for the 1990s by the Boxing Writers Association of America. He was regarded as the Number One fighter in the middleweight, super middleweight, and light heavyweight classes by all leading magazines. He also won the World Boxing Association heavyweight title in his only fight in his weight class. Jones recently won "The Battle of the Titans" defeating Felix "Tito" Trinidad in a unaminous decision Jan. 19 at Madison Square Garden.

"I'm proud to have the support of such a dedicated athlete and champion," Huckabee said.

Frater Huckabee is seeking the Republican Nomination for United States President and looks for a good showing in the "Super Tuesday" primaries in 29 states.
