Former four division world champion Roy Jones Jr. has officially opened a boxing school at Arena Khimki football stadium in the Moscow Region, the stadium's management said in a statement.
Russian President Vladimir Putin granted Russian citizenship to Jones in September. The boxer received a Russian passport a month later.
According to the statement, Jones' first boxing school in Russia has been opened in a 7,500-squre feet facility in the eastern stand of the stadium. The venue includes two rings and a gym.
Jones plans to give regular master classes and open lessons at the school, which accepts people of all training levels.
The future Hall of Famer fought in Moscow on December 12th, when he suffered a knockout defeat at the hands of former WBO cruiserweight champon Enzo Maccarinelli.
Jones has yet to officially announce the future of his career, but he's not ruling out the possibility of future fights in Russia.
