Misael Rodriguez joins MTK / Mirigian alliance

2016 Olympic medallist Misael Rodriguez (listed at 10-0, but more accurately 12-8 including the World Series of Boxing) will be advised by MTK Global and managed by Rick Mirigian, with the two boxing forces guiding the career of the 26 year-old Mexican.  A sensational amateur career saw him take bronze as a middleweight at the 2016 Olympics in Rio. Rodriguez is already extremely popular around the world, with over 300,000 followers on Instagram, and he’s happy with this next step in his career. Rodriguez said: “Signing with MTK Global is an important step, and having them on my side as advisors is something that will help to strengthen my career... I will continue making history, just as I did for my country. MTK Global and Rick Mirigan have both done things well in the boxing world, and I know that my career will explode and the big cards will come. I have been training a lot for this moment, and I am ready and excited as I want to be world champion.”
 
MTK Global CEO Bob Yalen said: “We’re proud to be announcing the signing of Misael Rodriguez. He’s regarded as one of the best rising stars in boxing, and we’re excited to be working with Rick Mirigian to guide his career. He has already proven himself to be an incredible amateur star by capturing an Olympic medal, and we’re convinced that he can have just as much success as a professional.”
 
Mirigian said: “Outside of Canelo, Misael is Mexico’s most popular active fighter. He was the only Mexican Olympian to medal in the past 25 years, he has been on reality shows and has 300,000 organic Instagram followers and can fight his ass off. MTK and I have major things for 2021 in store for this undefeated star.”
 
Rodriguez is the latest big name to team up with MTK Global and Rick Mirigian, following on from welterweight superstar Vergil Ortiz Jr, super-flyweight world champion Josh Franco, and unbeaten Hector Tanajara over the past week.
 
Further news on more additions between MTK Global and Mirigian will be announced in the coming days.
