Rolly Lambert Fogoum, the new WBA Asia King, Aims Global Dominance in the Cruiserweight Division


PhilBoxing.com



Fogoum's hand raised in victory in Thailand.

Being the WBO African Champ as well as the newly crowned WBA Asian Cruiserweight Champion is not enough for big power-puncher Rolly Lambert Fogoum (14-1-1, 12 KO's), the poet-boxer craves for more.

Indeed, the multi-lingual fighter, fluent in Spanish, Bandjoun, French, Bamendjou and English, the Cameroon-native – now a resident in Dubai, United Araba Emirates – has his mind set in taking by storm the 200-pound division.

Born in Cameroon's vibrant Bafoussam, the capital and largest city of the West Region of Cameroon, Lambert has felt a passion for sports since an early age, loving football, combat sports, body building, finding home in boxing, the sport of greats who inspire him as Marciano, Robinson, Duran and Ali.

It is boxing what Rolly Lambert Fogoum breaths, drawing inspiration from beloved legends of the sport, fighting his way to write his own name in the noble sport.

That is what has driven his 7-year pro boxing career, propelling him into the future.

Lambert’s years of hard work, sweat and dedication are paying off. Rolly's boxing is rolling.

In April of last year, the 1.80 meters Lambert, whose physique resembles the one of Evander Holyfield in his younger years, flew to the land of Azumah Nelson, Ghana, to brutalize and overpower Kwesi Tutu, stopping him in two.

Then, returning to his adopted home city of Dubai in the United Araba Emirates, Rolly Lambert claimed the WBO African Cruiserweight crown with another knockout win over hard-hitting Tanzania warrior Pascal Abel Ndomba at the luxurious Hilton Al Habtoor City in Dubai.

Restless for action, he went on to defend his WBO Cruiserweight African belt with a crushing round 7 knock out triumph over Ghana warrior John Napari (22-2, 16 KO's) at the plush Conrad Hotel in Dubai.



Last March, the ever-smiling soft-spoken Lambert continued his winning streak, handsomely defeating Monsieur Maurice Possiti of Indre-et-Loire, France, in Brico Santig’s Highland Boxing Promotions show at the awesome Habtoor Grand Hotel in the U.A.E.'s City of Gold.

And just 3 weeks ago, Rolly Lambert Fogoum fought and stopped Thai slugger Nattapon Plangpimai (16-3, 13 KO's) to conquer the WBA Asia Cruiserweight Title in another Highland Boxing Promotion at the fancy SpacePlus Night Club in vibrant Bangkok, Kingdom of Thailand.

That’s not all. Because in addition to being a world-class power-puncher cruiserweight boxer, Lambert is also a published poet and writer.

His first book, with the beautiful title or "Light your Inner Spark for Days of Grace" is a heartfelt collection of inspiring, motivational and educational poems, beautifully written in a rhythmic style.

Lambert's book celebrates life's glorious beauty despite difficulties and misfortunes, inviting readers to keep on going forward with faith to achieve their dreams in better days.

For the tough, inspiring and committed Rolly Lambert Fogoum, the sky is the limit in his quest for dominance in the 200-pound division.
