May 10 ,1980 in Newbridge) is a professional boxer. Nicknamed "The Rock", Rees became the WBA super-lightweight World Champion after defeatingSouleymane Mbaye in an upset decision win. His trainer isEnzo Calzaghe (who is the father ofJoe Calzaghe ) and his promoter isFrank Warren .Enzo has recently stated that Rees is often overlooked. "The ability of this kid is monstrous. The only question is where he goes from here. He’s got a mandatory defence first but I can say this now after that I’ll be looking for
Ricky Hatton . Without a question of a doubt." This had led many to believe that Rees may step up to fight Hatton.cite web
