Canadian boxer Ryan Rozicki, known for his formidable punching power, has inked a multi-fight contract with Zuffa Boxing. Rozicki, nicknamed 'The Bruiser', strengthens the promotional company's cruiserweight division, which already boasts an impressive lineup including champion Jai Opetaia, former titleholder Chris Billam-Smith, and top contender Brandon Glanton. With a professional record of 21 wins, all but one by knockout, Rozicki has established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the cruiserweight category. His only loss came at the hands of seasoned heavyweight contender Oscar Rivas in 2021.
Since then, Rozicki has remained unbeaten in nine consecutive fights, frequently competing in front of packed audiences in Nova Scotia. In 2024, he fought 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 notable boxers Richard Riakporhe and Ilunga Makabu. His most recent bout took place in March, where he secured a second-round knockout against Gerardo Mellado.
Rozicki expressed his enthusiasm for joining Zuffa Boxing, stating, 'I'm eager to embark on this new chapter and be a part of what Zuffa is building.' He credited his team for their tireless efforts in securing this opportunity, adding, 'This is a significant platform, and I'm ready to put in the work and make a statement.' Details of Rozicki's Zuffa Boxing debut are expected to be announced soon.
