Roy Jones looks for talented boxers in Russia

On September 15, the project “The Path to Absolute Victory” starts, which launches the legend of world boxing Roy Jones Jr. with the support of the Russian Forest Association and the +7 Charity Foundation.

— I want to help the Russian guys become real athletes that they will be proud of, — says Roy Jones. — Russia is a very large country, many amateur athletes live in villages and small towns. Many people think that they can never reach the world level, but this is not so. Boxing is not only strength, it is energy, will, concentration, it is health. Boxing is a person’s success in life. My project is love for people, sports, and boxing. We must enable talented children from the most distant corners of Russia to find themselves and form a high self-esteem. This is the only way they will love to think about loved ones, about the country and their role in it.

Athletes from 10 to 17 years are allowed to participate. Selection conditions - on the website RJJBoxing.ru. The first two regions that the project will cover are Irkutsk Oblast and Krasnoyarsk Territory.
