Does this mean he loses his U.S. citizenship?

Meeting over a cup of tea, the champion-turned-rapper and actor asked Putin for Russian citizenship, noting that having one will help him succeed in business.

“I hope you will succeed in business here in Russia,” Putin noted.

“That is why I want to come here. That is why I’m also here. Because I want to ask you about maybe having a passport to go back and forth so that I can do business here. Because all the people here seem to love Roy Jones Jr. And I love when people love me,“ Jones replied.

Noting that Jones is well-known and adored by Russian sports fans, Putin said that as long as the boxer spends a strong proportion of his time doing business in Russia, authorities "would certainly be happy to fulfil [Jones'] request to receive a Russian passport, Russian citizenship."

“I think Russian boxing fans would be very happy,” the Russian leader stressed.

I know you can have duel citizenship but American/Russian citizenship?
I can't see how that could be legal. Roy is disappointing a lot of his Pensacola fans by even asking for something like that.
