Ryan Rozicki

Bio

Ryan "The Bruiser" Rozicki is a Canadian cruiserweight from Sydney, Nova Scotia, and the most pound-for-pound heavy-handed puncher in the division. With 20 knockouts in 21 wins, The Bruiser's been one of the most feared cruiserweights on the planet for years — the problem has always been getting him out of Canada onto a big enough platform. That just changed.

In April 2026 Rozicki signed a multi-fight promotional deal with Zuffa Boxing, joining a cruiserweight stable that already includes champion Jai Opetaia, former WBO champion Chris Billam-Smith and contender Brandon Glanton. Ring Magazine has him ranked number five at 200lbs. He's come off a second-round stoppage of Gerardo Mellado in March 2026 in his hometown and said he's "ready to make a statement" on the bigger stage.

Make no mistake — Rozicki's one clean right hand away from changing any fight. His only loss came in 2022 to Brandon Glanton on a short-notice title eliminator, a fight he's wanted back ever since. Now both men are under the Zuffa banner, that rematch looks very makeable. He's called out Jai Opetaia publicly and wants the world title shot. If he lands right at 200lbs in 2026, a lot of people are going to get knocked out. If you know, you know.
