Boxing News: Ryan Rozicki Update » July 1, 2023 – Fight News
WBC #13 cruiserweight Ryan Rozicki (15-1, 14 KOs) last fought May of this year when he edged then-unbeaten Yamil Peralta (14-1, 7 KOs) of Argentina by controversial split decisión in Rozicki’s native Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada.
However, a lot has transpired since that fight. The WBC ordered an immediate rematch between the two, which Rozicki and his promoter Daniel Otter immediately agreed to. Rozicki’s name was also recently linked to a world title fight versus current WBC cruiserweight champion Ilunga Junior Makabu (29-2, 25 KOs) for the fall in the Congo. Fightnews.com® spoke with Rozicki and Otter, who addressed all of the above.
What happened to the proposed rematch between Ryan and Peralta?
Otter: Ryan had a 120-day suspension whereas Peralta only had 90 days. Team Peralta proceeded to do their own bout in Argentina which Peralta fought and won on September 17th. Ryan was still on suspension by the local commission in Nova Scotia.
Ryan fought at bridgerweight before. Do you feel he’s at his proper weight campaigning again in the cruiserweight división?
Otter: Cruiserweight is Ryan’s weight class as he walks around at close to the 200 lb weight limit. His fight at bridgerweight meant Ryan had to gain weight and fight above his natural weight with only two weeks’ notice. That being said, Ryan exceeded many people’s expectations.
Why was the proposed world title fight for Ryan versus current WBC cruiserweight world champion Makabu for the fall in the Congo postponed?
Otter: The fight has been postponed until the new year due to logistical reasons. We’ll be ready when the time comes.
Even though your proposed world title fight was postponed, how is your training coming along?
Rozicki: I feel stronger than ever. My suspension was the longest I have ever received. I think it gave me enough time to recover and reset. I have been very active the last 10 months with three hard fights.
What have you done differently in training since your last fight with a possible second chance at a world title fight in your future?
Rozicki: I have been working on my defense and stamina. I will have the proper time to train in camp this time around. The last world title shot I accepted with only two weeks’ notice.
Do you feel believe you’re closing in on bringing a world title back to your native Canada?
Rozicki: I believe so. I have been working on what’s needed to compete at the elite level of boxing.
Been following this guy. He is getting moved well. Think he will be the new face of the CW
His biggest opponent here in Cape Breton was his 100 pound girlfriend that he beat around.
He’s a brawler it doesn’t make for longevity but fans will love it while it lasts.

Chargers News: Fight Erupts Between Bolts and Ravens After Late Hit on Justin Herbert – Sports Illustrated
Erin Blanchfield patiently awaits her next UFC assignment.
Although it’s not totally clear what that will be, Blanchfield (12-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC) assumes an important matchup with Manon Fiorot (11-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC) is likely. The two flyweight combatants have established themselves as top contenders in a division that awaits a championship rematch between champion Alexa Grasso and former champion Valentina Shevchenko while they both recover from injury.
“Yeah, it’s definitely stalling,” Blanchfield recently said during an online live stream for digital wallet platform HUMBL. “I feel like I’ve had a couple No. 1 contender fights now. But you know, I’m still pretty young and gained valuable experience in those fights. … Whether it’s an interim or not, I’ll beat (Fiorot), and then I should definitely get a title next.”
Although UFC CEO Dana White has indicated it’s next, no timeline has been revealed for Grasso (16-3-1 MMA, 8-3-1 UFC) vs. Shevchenko (23-4-1 MMA, 12-3-1 UFC). Shevchenko had hand surgery in mid-September. Coincidentally, Grasso underwent hand surgery in early October.
Should there be further delays, Blanchfield wouldn’t mind seeing an interim title implemented. She’s healthy and ready to go, following a slight nasal fracture suffered in a unanimous decision win over Taila Santos in August.
“I haven’t been told about that yet,” Blanchfield said. I would definitely push for that. That’s something I’d definitely be interested in. I’m not sure when Valentina and Alexa are going to be ready to fight again. I know I think they’re on a similar timeline in their recovery. I would hope that if it ends up being longer, they’d have me and Manon fight for an interim.”

SACRAMENTO COUNTY – Two men died after they were shot outside of a bar in Sacramento County early Sunday morning, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said.
Deputies responded to Sacto By Night at 7121 Governors Circle at about 1:45 a.m.
A group of people who were leaving the bar got into a fight outside, leading to a shooting, deputies said.
The victims, who were two men, died at the scene, deputies said. One of them was the owner of the bar.
Investigators with the sheriff’s office believe a group of gang members who initially refused to leave the nightclub at closing is at the center of the incident. Those gang members apparently got involved in a fight in the parking lot, investigators said, with the suspected shooter being one of those gang members.
Witnesses described a white vehicle that took off from the scene. Deputies said the CHP located a vehicle matching the description and detained four people from that vehicle.
The people detained have since been identified as being allegedly involved in the shooting. Several guns have been recovered.
According to the sheriff’s office, the names of the suspects will be released once homicide and related charges are filed.
Brandon comes to CBS13 from Action News Now (KHSL/KNVN) in Chico where he spent two years as the Digital Content Manager.
