Amateur Boxer Fights off 3 Armed Thugs Trying to Steal His Rolex in Brazen Daylight Assault

An amateur boxer beat down three armed thugs who tried to rob him of his Rolex watch outside of the gym he owns in California.

Surveillance video captured the Tuesday attack on Rocco DiStefano, the owner and founder of the Lab Sunset Athletic Club, on the famous Sunset strip in West Hollywood.

The video shows three masked men hop out of a black Cadillac and rush towards DiStefano who is walking his dog, Hercules.

“I turned around, and I’m looking down the barrel of the pistol,” DiStefano said to KTTV-TV. “They’re yelling, ‘Take it off, take it off,’ and at this point, I try to run and I realize I’m running into a corner.” . . .

“The only thing I can think to take off, I’m looking at my Rolex. So I take off my Rolex and I clasp it in my hands and I tell them ‘You’re going to have to take it from me,'” said DiStefano.
