After boxing to a draw with Frederic Seillier for the European super- middleweight title in December 1994, Rocchigiani moved back up to light- heavyweight to challenge the 26-0 Henry Maske IBF title in May 1995 at the Arena Westfalenhalle, Dortmund, Nordrhein-Westfalen.

In August 1996 Rocchigiani lost via disqualification to WBO light- heavyweight title holder Dariusz Michalczewski after hitting Michalczewski on the break during round seven.
