‘Blazen Rocili can follow in the footsteps of Manny Pacquiao’

Undefeated 22-year-old middleweight prospect Blazen Rocili, a 6ft 3ins southpaw from Las Vegas, Nevada, will return to the ring on Saturday at the Alzafar Shrine Auditorium in San Antonio, Texas.

Rocili faces Houston’s De Priest Johnson in a four-round bout on a card promoted by Triple A Promotions in association with South Park Boxing Academy and Boxing VIP.

“I’m incredibly excited to be back in the ring,” said Rocili. “It’s been a dream of mine to fight in Texas, where the fans have so much passion for boxing. This will be my first time fighting here, and I want to make it a memorable night for everyone watching.”

The event will be streamed live on KSAT.com, KSAT+, Veuit Boxing, and Radiant TV, allowing fans from Las Vegas to the Philippines to tune in.

Rocili enters on a two-fight knockout streak. Johnson is 33 years old, holding a record of 2-2.

“Knowing that my fans back home and in the Philippines can watch live is truly a blessing,” Rocili, 7-0 (6 KOs) said. “Their support pushes me to train harder and give my all in the ring.”

Rocili’s manager, Andrew Bocanegra, sees his fighter as a rising star.

“Blazen has the size, the skill, and the charisma to follow in the footsteps of the greats like Manny Pacquiao,” Bocanegra said. “At just 22, he’s already showing that he’s ready to take on the world. Saturday is another step toward fulfilling that potential.”
