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.

Police investigate fight during Hamilton performance in Manchester – The Guardian

Officers were called to altercation between two audience members at touring hit show at Palace Theatre
Police are investigating after a fight broke out between theatregoers during a performance of Hamilton in Manchester.
Officers were called to an altercation between two audience members on Friday night, just days after the hit musical opened at the Palace Theatre at the start of a nationwide tour.
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester police said: “Officers were called to Oxford Street in the city centre at about 10.30pm on Friday 24 November 2023 to a report of an assault. An investigation is ongoing at this time with no arrests made.
“Thankfully, injuries sustained are not believed to be life-threatening.”
One report of the incident posted online said “staff were desperately trying to keep them apart” and commended the cast on stage for “not letting it distract them”.
In April, a performance of The Bodyguard at the same theatre was halted after several members of the audience refused to remain seated and refrain from loudly singing, leading to them being “forcibly removed”.
The Bodyguard was reportedly briefly paused during its first act to evict a handful of people, and then shortly before the finale of the show, “mini riots” and “fights” broke out among several people.
A front of house supervisor on the night said police were called because of the “unprecedented level of violence” staff received when asking the audience members to stop.
A report from the Broadcasting, Entertainment, Communications and Theatre union earlier this year found nearly one-third of theatre staff said they had been involved in or witnessed an incident where a venue had to call the police, with 20% having feared for their safety at least once.

More than 70% believed the issue had worsened since the Covid pandemic.
Greater Manchester police urged anyone with information about the fight during Hamilton to get in touch: “Anyone with information that may help officers with their inquiries are asked to call 101 quoting incident 3783 of 24 November 2023.”

UFC news: Erin Blanchfield gives update on next fight, title hopes – MMA Junkie

Published

on





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.”
