Filipino-American boxer Blazen Rocili (6-0, 5 KOs), a 21 year-old from Waipahu, Hawaii, now training in Las Vegas, has signed a managerial agreement with Andrew Bocanegra and his company, Boxing VIP. Rocili, is 6’3” tall and fights out of the southpaw stance. He claims to be the tallest Filipino in the sport and is hopes to make significant strides in his boxing career under this new partnership. His management touts him as a middleweight, although he has competed in Team Combat League bouts this year at 177 pounds.

 

Rocili is trained by coach Richard Barrientes at the Pound-4-Pound boxing gym in Las Vegas, known for hosting some of the best training camps in boxing."I'm thrilled to be teaming up with Andrew Bocanegra and Boxing VIP,” said Rocili, 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 Rocili has the makings of something special in the boxing world,” said Bocanegra, who is confident in Rocili's work ethic and potential. “His talent, combined with his massive height and southpaw stance, makes him a problem for anyone in the junior middleweight 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."

 

Rocili, 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.
