Former ice hockey player In Marcel Ho made his debut as a professional boxer over the weekend.
Hossa, 42, known from the NHL and the World Cup, started his new conquest of territory with victory when Hossa was declared the winner of the match Roman Grigely against. He is better known as the rapper Momo.
Hossa, who played 237 games in the NHL from 2001 to 2008 and scored 31+30, won the game when his opponent was disqualified for unsportsmanlike behavior.
– Regardless of the result, I beat myself just by stepping into the ring. Sure, I’ve fought on ice, but this was a completely different story. I am grateful for this experience, Hossa said in the victory interview.
Hossa is particularly well remembered in Finland for the World Ice Hockey Championships, where he represented Slovakia for a total of six years. He played three games at the Olympics. The World Championship silver from spring 2012 entered the prize cabinet
Marcel is “the other Hossa”. His brother Marian Hossa is one of Slovakia’s best ice hockey players of all time.
Marian Hossa, who won three Stanley Cups in his career, played a total of 1,309 games in the Taala League with a wild output of 525+609=1,134. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2021.
