On Saturday, September 30th, at the Hamilton Convention Centre in Hamilton, Ontario, Ryan Rozicki (18-1-0, 17 KOs) faces Alante Green (10-1-1, 7 KOs) in a cruiserweight main event. The co-feature matches John Michael Bianco (5-0) against Samuel Moses (6-0) for the Canadian super middleweight championship. Three Lions Promotions will promote the show.
Rozicki suffered his only career loss against Oscar Rivas in October of 2021 when he challenged for the vacant WBC bridgerweight title. Since then, Rozicki has gone on to win five bouts, four of them being stopped before the end of the third round. Rozicki said, “I want to fight the best of the best and ultimately win the World title. My first world title shot didn’t end how I wanted it to but since then I have won five in a row and Rivas hasn’t fought since. With due respect to Rivas, I believe that was my night. I retired him [Rivas, who suffered an eye injury] and I am coming to retire everyone in my division. I feel the cruisers are dodging me so kudos to Green for stepping up to the plate, he is a real fighter like myself and I’m sure the fans are going to get what they want to see come September.”
Green got a big win back in November of 2021 beating then-undefeated Taylor Duerr of Detroit by TKO in the sixth round. Since then, Green moved up to heavyweight where he suffered his only loss by way of a split decision against George Arias (18-1, 7 KOs).
“I hear Rozicki saying all the cruiserweights have been avoiding him and maybe they have but I ain’t. I stepped up in weight my last fight just like he did because no one in the division wanted to fight me. September 30th I’m coming to win and spoil his night that’s for sure,” explained Green
“I’m very happy that Rozicki gets his chance to fight a top ranked cruiserweight as his last couple of bouts he has fought at heavyweight, as no other cruisers wanted the fights,” said Daniel Otter of Three Lions Promotions.
