Canadian boxer Ryan Rozicki, known for his formidable punching power, has inked a multi-fight contract with Zuffa Boxing. Rozicki, nicknamed 'The Bruiser', is the newest addition to Zuffa's impressive cruiserweight lineup, which includes champion Jai Opetaia, former world champion Chris Billam-Smith, and top contender Brandon Glanton. With 21 professional wins under his belt, all but one by knockout, Rozicki has established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the world of boxing.
His only loss came in 2021 against long-time heavyweight contender Oscar Rivas, who has only been defeated by Dillian Whyte. Since then, Rozicki has remained unbeaten in nine consecutive fights, often fighting to sold-out crowds in Nova Scotia. In 2024, he competed for the WBC interim title, drawing with Yamil Alberto Peralta in their rematch.
Rozicki's notable victories include a win over Olanrewaju Durodola, who had previously gone the distance with Richard Riakporhe and Ilunga Makabu in a world title fight. His most recent bout took place in March, where he secured a second-round knockout over Gerardo Mellado. Rozicki expressed his enthusiasm for this new chapter in his career, stating, 'I'm excited to be part of what Zuffa is building, and I'm ready to make a statement.' His debut with Zuffa Boxing is expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
