Earlier this month, Roy Jones Jr.became an official citizen of Russia after a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. He also agreed to start training a handful of Russian boxers. So to mark the occasion, promoter Vladimir Hryunov had a custom jacket made for him.
Tbh, the jacket doesn't really look like anything special and appears to be a jacket that could easily be replicated. But on Saturday night, Jones was helping Fedor Chudinov win his match against Frank Buglioni at Wembley Arena in London when someone swiped the jacket from Chudinov's locker room and made off with it. And Hryunov is now offering a $50,000 (!) reward for it.
We have no idea why Hryunov is willing to pay so much for it (whoever has it should CHECK THE POCKETS immediately!), but we'd expect it to turn up anyyy minute now.
