He will step into the Milan ring during the weekend of September 24 and 25. All to pocket his 5th world title in French boxing at less than 70 kilos. The Pompeian Johan Ghassiri will try to expand an already well-stocked list, also embellished with 6 titles of European champion.
The growing young guard
At 36, Johan Ghassiri is lucid. “Ah yes, I am actually closer to the end of my career than the beginning.“But on the other hand, he knows that it will be him the man to kill, even if 40 nationalities are announced in Italy. “I don’t focus on other people at all, I don’t go too much on social networks to see what they are doing“, he specifies.
A displayed confidence that masks a preparation to the millimeter. Johan Ghassiri puts on the laps of the stadium, to work on the cardio in the race. And then obviously the training sessions in front of his coach and his bag. All under the benevolent eye of his family and her two sons aged 2 and 10. “On the other hand, I got into the habit of going alone in competition. I’d be scared they’d scream and be scared if they saw me take hits.” We therefore hope that Johan Ghassiri will return to Pompey with lots of good memories to tell.
