Hogan is headlining the 'Revolution' event which is set to be the biggest card in modern Australian history, second only to Jeff Horn’s historic welterweight world title win over Manny Pacquiao in Brisbane last July. Horn has been a sparring partner of Hogans in preparation for the bout and in an interview with the Courier Mail hailed him as the hardest worker he has ever seen.
It’s very motivating for me to see the commitment Dennis has to his boxing. The fight with Kelly next week will be a great bout and I think Dennis can win it and go on to take a world title.
