From work in the Montagnola market to defending the EU welterweight title, the projects of the 24-year-old Roman who aims at the USA: “Carrying on a professional career in boxing is not easy”
The first hook has been a phrase that has been stuck in my head for about fifteen years. “A footballer can also be a phenomenon, but only a boxer can be a hero”. Pietro Rossetti thinks about it and in the end a smile escapes: “I was still playing football, my father told me after a training session. I fell in love with boxing there.” A few days ago, the twenty-four year old from Rome successfully defended the EU welterweight title against the Frenchman Yanis Mehah – on the Roma Boxing Night – and today the sacrifices lined up are starting to have their reasons. The alarm clocks at 4 in the morning to go running like Rocky, the shifts at the butcher shop, the packed lunches prepared in advance and the endless days spent at the gym. Toil upon toil.
