[VIDEO] Roy Jones Jr. works out in Russia

It seems as though Roy Jones Jr. (58-8) spends more time in the former Soviet Union than the Klitschko brothers. He's back there this week getting set to defend his WBU cruiserweight title in Krasnodar, Russia Friday night.

The former pound for pound champ has fought his last three bouts Latvia, Russia, and Poland, respectively. It's hard to blame the 45 year-old, however, because he seems to still draw crowds and attention in Euroasia.

For example, check out the above video of a recent open workout that Jones conducted in Russia. The gym looks packed.

It will be interesting to see how many folks show up and tune in to his title defense against Egyptian Hany Atiyo (14-2) in their 12 round affair tomorrow. American fans - will you be searching for a way to watch Roy fight, or at least be looking for the result online tomorrow?
