By T.K. Stewart - Joe Parella, the feisty manager of featherweight Rogers Mtagwa, says nothing would please him more in life than to see his man win a world championship tonight in his WBA title tilt against Yuriorkis Gamboa.
“He can hang with the best of them,” says Parella, who has served as Mtagwa’s manager for nearly 10 years. “If he listens to instructions, sometimes he doesn’t always listen; but if he listens he is quite capable of being a world champion and I’ve told him all this before.”
Mtagwa was born in the dusty and impoverished country of Tanzania in East Africa. He now operates out of Philadelphia under the promotional guidance of J. Russell Peltz and trains at Joe Hand‘s Gym with former middleweight contender Bobby “Boogaloo” Watts serving as his chief second.
With a wife and two children, Mtagwa has a lot to fight for. He either makes it as a prizefighter or he goes back to Tanzania to work in that country’s agricultural industry. Despite 13 career losses, Mtagwa is perhaps the most feared and respected fighter in the world with that many black marks on his ledger. [Click Here To Read More]
