LAS VEGAS, NV (July 18, 2024) – Filipino boxer Blazen Rocilli (6-0, 5 KOs), a promising 21-year-old middleweight from Waipahu, Hawaii, now training in Las Vegas, NV, has officially signed a managerial agreement with Andrew Bocanegra, President of Boxing VIP. Rocilli, standing at an impressive 6’3” and fighting out of the southpaw stance, is unique for his size. He is the tallest Filipino in the sport and is poised to make significant strides in his boxing career under this new partnership.
Rocilli is trained by the highly respected coach Richard Barrientes at the Pound-4-Pound boxing gym in Las Vegas, known for hosting some of the best training camps in boxing. With an incredible work ethic, Rocilli has quickly become a notable figure in the super welterweight division.
“I’m thrilled to be teaming up with Andrew Bocanegra and Boxing VIP,” said Blazen Rocilli, who’s family back in the Philippines is from the city of Ilocos Norte. “I believe this partnership will elevate my career to new heights and provide me with the opportunities I need to showcase my skills on the biggest stages. I have a great team behind me now and I’m looking forward to my future in boxing.”
“Blazen Rocilli has the makings of something special in the boxing world,” said Andrew Bocanegra, confident in Rocilli’s potential. “His talent, combined with his massive height and southpaw stance, makes him a problem for anyone in the super welterweight division. As a tall Filipino boxer, he brings a unique style and presence to the ring that I believe will captivate fans and unite the Philippine community. In my opinion, he can become the next Filipino superstar.”
Rocilli, a promotional free agent, inspired by the legacy of Filipino boxing legends, expressed his aspirations for his career. “I want to follow in the footsteps of great Philippine fighters like Manny Pacquiao and others. They have set a high standard, and I am determined to honor their legacy by working hard and striving for greatness in every fight.”
