Canadian cruiserweight boxer Ryan 'The Bruiser' Rozicki has inked a multi-fight contract with Zuffa Boxing, bolstering the promotion's already impressive cruiserweight division. Rozicki joins a talented stable that features champion Jai Opetaia, former titleholder Chris Billam-Smith, and top contender Brandon Glanton. Known for his formidable punching power, Rozicki boasts an impressive record of 21 professional wins, with all but one of those victories coming by way of knockout.
His only loss was a decision to seasoned heavyweight contender Oscar Rivas in 2021. Since then, Rozicki has remained unbeaten in nine consecutive fights, frequently competing in front of packed crowds in Nova Scotia. In 2024, he fought to a draw against Yamil Alberto Peralta for the WBC interim title.
One of Rozicki's notable wins came against Olanrewaju Durodola, whom he stopped, a feat that had eluded notable punchers Richard Riakporhe and Ilunga Makabu. Rozicki's most recent bout took place in March, where he delivered a second-round knockout against Gerardo Mellado. 'I'm looking forward to this new chapter in my career and being part of Zuffa's vision,' Rozicki stated. 'My team has worked tirelessly to get me to this point, and I'm confident that I have the support needed to succeed at the highest level.
This is a significant platform, and I'm eager to make a statement.' Details of Rozicki's Zuffa Boxing debut are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
