A syndicated columnist for a national sports wire, guest analyst for ESPN television, a New York State registered boxing judge, promoter, and manager.  Mr. Rozen has seen boxing from every angle and has written articles that have appeared in Ring Magazine, KO, and other boxing publications.

He has interviewed numerous boxing celebrities, a list that includes Muhammad Ali, Sonny Liston, Michael Dokes, Cus D’Amato, Jimmy Jacobs, Bill Cayton, Michael Spinks, Ferdie Pacheco, Floyd Patterson, and Mike Tyson.
