Toro Promotions, Inc. has built a powerhouse stable of heavyweights which is making noise all around the boxing world.

Toro Promotions, Inc. launched its new pro boxing series, “The Heartbeat of LA Boxing”, with great success last night at Pacific Palms Resort. Undefeated Tsotne “Mr. T” Rogova (10-0, 7 KOs) clinched the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) U.S. heavyweight title, headlining an event that featured six pro debuts, including celebrated Walnut (CA) High School senior Paolo “Pow” Barredo.

All four co-main event fighters cleared Friday weigh-ins ahead of Saturday’s “The Heartbeat of L.A. Boxing” card at Pacific Palms Resort in City of Industry, California.


Ukrainian boxing is coming off what is surely its most successful week yet. It started in Australia on May 12 when Vasiliy Lomachenko knocked out George Kambosos Jr. for the IBF lightweight title. On May 18 in Saudi Arabia, Oleksandr Usyk scored a split decision win against Tyson Fury to become the undisputed heavyweight champion. Hours later in San Diego, Denys Berinchyk beat Emanuel Navarrete via split decision to win the vacant WBO lightweight title.

Sometimes in life, you find like-minded people. That’s what happened when Tsotne Rogava and Gurgen Hovhannisyan found one another

Tsotne Rogava hopes to become boxing's next great heavyweight from Ukraine, and his March 23 bout against Antonio Brown at the LumColor Phoenix Center in Ontario, California, will determine whether he remains on the fast track.

It took Armenian heavyweight Gurgen “Big Gug” Hovhannisyan (5-0, 5 KOs) a few rounds to shake off rust, but 6’ 7”, 278-pounder closed the main event with a devastating fifth-round knockout of a game Colby Madison (11-7-2, 7 KOs).

Toro Promotions and Whitfield Haydon Boxing will stage an event on January 4th, presenting the “Pit Stop on Road to Greatness” card, showcasing six heavyweight prospects, at the famed Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Washington.

Probellum has announced the promotional signing of Ukrainian fighter Tsotne Rogava. The 28-year-old heavyweight made his professional boxing debut in April 2021, when he secured a knockout victory over Petar Mrvalj.
