Summary

Tris Dixon speaks to Lucas Roehrig, the undefeated cruiserweight prospect and recent Wasserman signing who is managed and trained by George Groves.

Roehrig discusses his early development, learning the ropes in and out of the ring, sparring top 200-pounders like Chris Billam-Smith and Jai Opetaia, his hopes for the future, and whether he will ever fall out with his mentor, Groves, the way Rocky did with his starlet Tommy Gunn in Rocky V!!
