Rogava's Trainer: «He's a Big Bully»

Trainer Joe Goossen shared his thoughts on his Ukrainian heavyweight (over 90.7 kg) boxer Tsotne Rogava (7-0, 7 KOs).

«Mr. T (Tsotne Rogava's nickname) has everything it takes to win a world title by next year. I choose who trains under my roof and who I take under my guidance. There are only a few guys we believe can reach the top, and Mr. T is one of them. As soon as I saw his sparring, I called Toro Promotions and said, ‘You need to sign this guy.’ They did a great job and got him.

Mr. T is a big bully who aggressively combines combinations. He’s fast and relentless, he doesn’t back down. He has refined technique like a middleweight. He has different types of punches. He’s a sneaky dude, and I like him. He not only spars at a high level but does the same and even more during fights. His fights are very short right now; he just destroys his opponents. What we expected from him has been realized,» said Goossen.

Tsotne Rogava’s next fight will be against Terrell Jamal Woods (29-59-10, 21 KOs).
