    Roy Jones Jr.'s promotions company has filed a lawsuit alleging that fighter Danny Green used illegal hand wrappings in a 2009 fight that saw Jones knocked out in the first round.

    The lawsuit filed Tuesday also claims that Green, an Australian, refused to allow Jones to invoke the rematch clause in the contract and that Green's company owes Jones an unspecified amount of money from the bout.

    Green defeated Jones in the first round of the IBO world cruiserweight title fight on Dec. 2 in Sydney, Australia.

    The referee stopped the bout and declared Green the winner by technical knockout after 122 seconds.
