Ryan “The Bruiser” Rozicki, once knocking at the world title’s door, put the NABF cruiserweight crown on his head, toppling champ Alante Green. This stunner happened at Hamilton Convention Centre, Ontario. It was a rugged and tense fight until Rozicki, living up to his name, delivered a jaw-dropping left hook. Green tasted the canvas, and by the time the clock read 1:55, it was lights out!
Ranking impressively in WBC, IBF, WBA, and WBO, Rozicki’s now on a hot streak, clinching six consecutive wins after his loss against Oscar Rivas.
Rozicki: “Props to Alante and his squad. I walked in with a plan, and man, did I stick with it! I’m gunning for the great guys in the division.”
Daniel Otter, the bigwig at Three Lions Promotions, chimed in, “That was an absolute war. He (Rozicki) was surely up on the scorecards but he didn’t leave it in their hands, may have been knock out of the year in my books. Rozicki will be back in the ring before the end of this year and I don’t think any of the top cruisers are ready for what he has to offer.”
