WBC No. 2 Cruiserweight Ryan Rozicki
Reinjured, Ring Return Delayed For Canadian,
October 25th Show Postponed!
(October 9th) Three Lions Promotions has postponed its October 25th boxing pro boxing event in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada, due to headliner Ryan “The Bruiser” Rozicki (20-1-1, 19 KOs) reinjuring his right arm during training camp. He has been advised by his physician to refrain from training for up to 6 weeks.
Rozicki, set to fight Akani “Prince” Phuzi in the main event for the World Boxing Council (WBC) Continental Americas Cruiserweight title, initially tore a tendon in his right bicep this past April as the WBC’s mandatory challenger, which prevented him from challenging WBC champion Badou Jack for his world title belt this past May.
“I followed all of the doctor’s advice and began sparring a few weeks ago,” the hard luck Rozicki explained. “I guess I need some more time. I will be back stronger than ever in the new year. I will become champion of the world in 2026!”
Rozicki, 30, is currently ranked No. 2 in the world by the WBC, No. 4 by Ring Magazine, and No. 13 by the World Boxing Organization (WBO).
“Ryan has had a tough go in 2025, but he is still in good spirits,” said Daniel Otter, Managing Director of Three Lions Promotions, which promotes Rozicki. “He injured his arm in sparring, not as seriously as the original injury this past May, but he will be sidelined until the new year. We will be announcing a new date in the days to come. It’s awful when this happens and I truly sympathize with all the boxers who were competing on the October 25th card. That being said, Ryan will have to wait just a little longer with his rehabilitation to get back in the ring. Mark my words, Ryan Rozicki will be a world champion in 2026!”
