Canadian boxer Ryan Rozicki, also known as 'The Bruiser', has inked a deal with Zuffa Boxing, bolstering their cruiserweight division. Rozicki boasts an impressive record, with 21 professional wins, all but one of which were achieved by knockout. His only loss was to Oscar Rivas, a seasoned heavyweight contender, in 2021.
Since then, Rozicki has remained unbeaten in nine consecutive fights, often performing in front of sold-out crowds in his native Nova Scotia. Notably, he fought for the WBC interim title in a 2024 rematch against Yamil Alberto Peralta, which ended in a draw.
Rozicki has also secured notable victories, including a win over Olanrewaju Durodola, who had previously gone the distance with prominent boxers Richard Riakporhe and Ilunga Makabu. In his most recent bout, Rozicki defeated Gerardo Mellado with a second-round knockout.
'I'm thrilled to embark on this new chapter and be a part of Zuffa's vision,' Rozicki stated. 'My team has worked tirelessly to get me to this point, and I'm eager to capitalize on this opportunity and make a lasting impression.' The details of Rozicki's Zuffa Boxing debut are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
