  • Winner: Rohan Date scores another knockout

    Undefeated boxer Rohan Date notched up another win on his record after a devastating third-round knockout in London.

    Date, who began his professional boxing career in Dubai two years ago, was victorious over Bulgaria’s Reyhan Todorov to add to his record of 5-0-1 with three knockout victories.

    The Irishman, who turned pro in 2014 in the UAE, said after the fight “This is what I was made to do and chasing the dream of becoming the next Welterweight champion is worth any sacrifice.”

    “My fight on Saturday was the beginning of ‘knock out season’ over the next few months. I am happy to have four KO’s on my undefeated record. I would love to bring professional boxing to Dubai and be able to fight in the city that jump started my career and a place I am proud to call home,” he continued.

    The 25 year old is currently boxing in London but training in Dubai at the Real Boxing Only Gym. He’s a seven-time Irish national champion, World Golden Gloves champion (in Washington DC) 2013, and with close to 200 amateur fights, where he remained unbeaten.

    Date is scheduled to fight again in December.
