Canadian boxer Ryan Rozicki, known for his formidable punching power, has inked a multi-fight contract with Zuffa Boxing. Rozicki, nicknamed 'The Bruiser', bolsters the promotion'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 record of 21 wins, 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 at the hands of seasoned heavyweight contender Oscar Rivas in 2021.
Since then, Rozicki has been on a nine-fight unbeaten streak, frequently fighting to sold-out crowds in his native Nova Scotia. In 2024, he battled Yamil Alberto Peralta to a draw in a WBC interim title rematch.
Rozicki's most notable victories include a win over Olanrewaju Durodola, who had previously gone the distance with renowned punchers Richard Riakporhe and Ilunga Makabu. In his most recent bout, Rozicki scored a second-round knockout over Gerardo Mellado. 'I'm thrilled to start this new chapter and be a part of what Zuffa is building,' Rozicki stated. 'My team has done an outstanding job in preparing me for success at the highest level.
This is a massive platform, and I'm eager to make a statement.' The details of Rozicki's Zuffa Boxing debut are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
