"I feel like my story is almost like a Rocky movie," Kofroth shared. "I came from nothing, and most people don’t even know who I am. Now, I’ve got this huge opportunity."
It's a chance for Kofroth to prove himself on a global stage.
Shane Mosley, now 53, is stepping out of retirement for this celebrity boxing event, which takes place at Harrah's Casino in Chester at 7 p.m. on Saturday.
When asked about his game plan for facing Mosley, Kofroth replied, "I grew up watching him, so I know a bit about his style. But the rest, I’ll keep to myself. You’ll see it all unfold on Saturday."
Damon Feldman, CEO of Official Celebrity Boxing, which is organizing the event, mentioned that Kofroth is a last-minute replacement for another boxer who got injured.
“It’s great for Bob,” Feldman said. “He’s getting a lot of exposure, and this will really help his business. He’s a good guy with a great family.”
The event, expected to attract around 1,000 attendees, is also a significant moment for the city of Chester. Mayor Stefan Roots expressed excitement, highlighting the city’s revitalization after filing for bankruptcy two years ago.
"We’re ready for big events like this," Roots said. "Arts and entertainment are going to play a major role in our city’s comeback, and we’re excited to host this."
As for Kofroth, his confidence is soaring.
"I love boxing," Kofroth said. "For a true boxer, going toe to toe with someone who's been the best, it’s an experience that’s priceless."
