Rozicki vs. Peralta WBC World
Title Eliminator Set For May 7
On May 7th, 2022, Three Lions Promotions (TLP) presents the
WBC International
Cruiserweight Championship title fight featuring Ryan “The
Bruiser” Rozicki (14-1-0, 14KOs) of Sydney, Nova Scotia,
against Yamil "Jara" Peralta (13-0-0, 6KOs) of Buenos Aires,
Argentina, at the Centre 200 in Sydney, NS.
A native of Sydney, the 27-year-old captured a technical
knockout victory over German Garcia Montes (7-4-0, 7 KOs) in
the cruiserweight division in March of this year at the
Hamilton Convention Centre in Hamilton, Ont.
Rozicki, the No. 9 ranked cruiserweight by the WBC, stopped
Montes at 2:59 of the second round to claim his 14th career
victory and the bout was Rozicki’s first since Oct. 22 when
he was defeated by unanimous decision by Oscar Rivas for the
WBC World Bridgerweight title in Montreal. This latest
victory kept his knockout ratio at 100%, having won all his
professional fights by way of knockout (KO) or technical
knockout (TKO).
Peralta, 30, had his last bout on Jan. 15, against Mariano
Angel Gudino and winning by unanimous decision at Palacio de
Los Deportes in Mar del Plata, Argentina. Peralta, the WBC's
No. 10-ranked cruiserweight, is a former two time Olympian
with an unblemished professional career.
Rozicki’s promoter Dan Otter of Three Lions Promotions feels
the bout is not only a big opportunity for Rozicki but an
exciting fight for the fans. “This is a massive fight for
Ryan and he is ready for the opportunity,” said Otter. “This
is for the WBC international cruiserweight title and with
both boxers being ranked in the top 10, it becomes an
automatic WBC world title eliminator. This is a great fight
to promote and I’m sure fight fans will be thrilled.”
The co-main event will see the newest addition to the Three
Lions stable, current WBC Youth World Lightweight title
holder Pedro Bernal (9-1-1, 3KOs) of Mexico City, MX take on
fellow countrymen Jovanni Flores (7-12-1, 4Kos) of Monterrey
MX in an 8 round bout.
“Being the Cinco De Mayo weekend, a major holiday in Mexico
which celebrates the country’s independence, we felt it was
fitting to introduce our newest signing in an old fashion
Mexican standoff.” Explained Otter.
The undercard will see Carolyn Redmond (4-0-0, 2KOs) of
Guelph, ON in her first 8 round bout against former world
title challenger and the more experienced Simone Da Silva
(20-17-0, 6KOs) of São Paulo, BRZ.
Jake Daoust (3-0, 2KOs) of Orangeville ON, who is coming off
an impressive second round KO win this past March against
fellow Canadian Mikhael Miller (3-6-0, 0KOs) will take on
Juan Monzon (8-3-3, 7KOs) of Buenos Aires, ARG and is
scheduled for 6 rounds.
Lucas Bahdi (10-0-0, 10Kos) of Niagara Falls ON against
Rodolfo Moreno (14-6-0, 6Kos)) of Monterey MX and John
Michael Bianco (1-0-0) of Etobicoke ON against Ivan Banach
(4-3-0, 2Kos) of Buenos Aires Argentina
The card will also see local Nova Scotian talent, with
former world title challenger Tison Cave (35-3-0, 13KOs)
from North Preston, NS pitted against Aramis Solis (14-14-0,
9Kos) of Cintalapa Mexico for 6 rounds and pro debutants,
both Halifax natives, Matt Macintyre (0-0-0) and Jeff Knight
(0-0-0) for four rounds or less.
