He became a professional boxer in 1983 and won the German cruiserweight championship in 1985. He failed in two attempts to win the European Boxing Union light heavyweight championships. He also failed to take the WBO cruiserweight championship from Tyrone Booze in 1992.
He finally won the WBO cruiserweight championship on June 10, 1995, and held it for more than two years. He won the vacant title by scoring a technical knockout over Carl Thompson, and defended it six times. He lost the title in a rematch with Thompson in 1997 and retired from boxing in 1999. Rocchigiani was contractually signed to German boxing promoter Klaus-Peter Kohl and his company "Universum Boxpromotions." He was trained by Fritz Sdunek.
Today Rocchigiani owns a bar on the Savignyplatz in Berlin. He also served as a trainer for his brother Graciano Rocchigiani.[1]
