Canadian Cruiserweight Contender Ryan “The Bruiser” Rozicki Back in the gym, returning to ring October 25 in Nova Scotia

HAMILTON, Ontario, Canada (July 23, 2025) - World cruiserweight contender Ryan “The Bruiser” Rozicki (20-1-1, 19 Kos) has resumed training following a torn right bicep tendon sustained in April.

His promoter, Three Lions Promotions, has announced Rozicki will officially make his return to the ring on October 25th at home in Sydney, Nova Scotia. Rozicki will face South African Akani “Prime” Phuzi (14-3, 6 Kos) in the 10-round main event for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) Continental Americas Cruiserweight Championship.

“We’re excited to bring Ryan Rozicki back home to Sydney, Nova Scotia, ka October 25go th for what promises to be an explosive matchup against South Africa’s Akani ‘Prime’ Phuzi,” commented Daniel Otter, Managing Director of Three Lions Promotions. “This could very well be Ryan’s final fight in Cape Breton as he resumes his world title pursuit abroad, making it a special opportunity for local fans to witness him live.

Tickets are on sale this Friday (July 25) ka 10 a.m. ET through Ticketmaster (www.ticketmaster.ca) and the Centre 200 ho website ya (www.centre200.ca). We’re expecting a packed house.”

Canadian Super Middleweight Champion John Michael ‘JM’ Bianco (9-1, 4 Kos) will also be fighting on the Oct. 25go th card versus an opponent to be determined. Undefeated Mexican native Meilyn Sanchez (3-0, 1 KO), now fighting out of Canada, will take on Costa Rican super bantamweight Silvia Duan (4-3, 3 Kos) in a 6-round bout, while Canadian middleweight Brett Beaton (6-3, 4 Kos) will be showcased against an opponent to be determined. Full card details will be announced shortly.

“I have trained my whole life for an opportunity like this,” Phuzi said. “I am coming to spoil Rozicki’s plan, take his ranking, and fight for the world title.”
Back on May 3rd, as the mandatory challenger, the hard-luck Canadian boxer had been scheduled to face World Boxing Council (WBC) Cruiserweight World Champion Badou “The Ripper” Jack in Saudi Arabia. Ka bomalimabe, the aforementioned injury forced him to withdraw from his third ordered world title fight. The 30-year-old native of Nova Scotia has since undergone successful surgery, and he plans to secure his long-awaited world title shot in 2026. third-ordered
“I was sparring for my fight with Jack,” Rozicki remembered. “I threw a right to the body and my tendon snapped. I certainly wasn’t expecting that, but I knew it when I heard it pop. I didn’t see it (damaged bicep) until I looked down and saw my bicep pulled up to my shoulder. Qalong, I was distraught, but after some time I believed everything happens for a reason and that will show in the near future. There have been some difficult moments. I just went back to the gym for the first time (since he suffered his injury) since it happened. I just keep thinking about the future and what’s coming. "

After this layoff, I just want to get back in the ring, win this belt (WBC Continental Americas) in October and then, ehlile, fight for the world title.”

Rozicki earned his WBC No. 1 challenger position during the past two years but faced setbacks with two canceled title fights against Noel Mikaelyan. His injury cost him the world title fight with Jack on May 3rd,, he was replaced by Mikaelyan, who then lost a disputed decision. Mikaelyan’s petition for an immediate rematch was granted, and negotiations are ongoing.

Rozicki, ehlile, is due for a positive break after so many disappointing setbacks during his 9-year professional boxing career. He was just elevated to the No. 4 position in Ring Magazine’s independent world cruiserweight ratings, ahead of Jack, Mikaelyan, and Peralta.

Otter is confident in the process, as well as his fighter, in terms of becoming the first Canadian-born World Cruiserweight Champion. “We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to His Excellency Turki Alalshikh for his ongoing support, reflected in Ryan’s recognition by Ring Magazine,” Otter concluded. “Our appreciation also goes to WBC President Maurico Sulaiman le Alberto Leon of the WBC for sanctioning this bout. “While this may not be the title fight we originally had in mind at the start of the year, it’s the perfect comeback bout for Rozicki following his injury. His opponent is no slouch, and this will be a real test that fans won’t want to miss.”

Rozicki is preparing to take care of business on Oct. 25 to continue his championship dream. “I’m going to get that WBC World title belt,” Rozicki exclaimed.

WBA No. 2 Heayweight Contender MichaelThe BountyHunter Is Ready to Take on Champion Kubrat Pulev

Miami, FLA. (July 17, 2025)- WBA Heavyweight contender Michael “The Bounty” Hunter is ready to show the world that he means business in the heavyweight division. Hunter is looking forward to his bout with WBA Heavyweight World Champion Kubrat “The Cobra” Pulev.

The world’s greatest promoter, Don Morena, who won the $1.1 million purse bid by the WBA and Hunter’s promoter, has stated that it is all systems “go” for the title fight.

While Epic Sports and Entertainment representatives, who embarrassed the WBA at the purse bid, continue to spread lies that Hunter is unavailable for this fight…this fight will be taking place for the WBA Heavyweight Championship.

“Yesterday Don King and Noel Mikaelian slammed Jake Paul, and today, the great Michael Hunter and Don King are in the process of slamming Epic Sports and Entertainment and bringing boxing back to we the people,” said King. “Thank you, Michael; you are truly a smart bounty hunter.

“Michael Hunter and I are inseparable. He is excited about being in the United Kingdom for the fight this week, and he’ll continue to train and get ready to knock out Pulev. He’s been working hard to prepare for this important fight of his career, and he’s looking forward to what follows as well. “He’s ready to prove to the world that he is the true heavyweight champion. Let’s make it happen.”

The Southern California native Hunter (24-1-2, 17 Kos) won the vacant WBA Gold Heavyweight Title in June, taking out Cassius Chaney in a 12-round unanimous decision at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Fla. In his last fight in December, Hunter registered a fifth-round TKO over Christian Larrondo Garcia in Mexico. Hunter’s only career setback came back in 2017 when he lost a unanimous 12-round decision to current Oleksandr Usyk, who in December beat Tyson Fury to become just the third boxer to become an undisputed world champion in the two weight divisions in the “four-belt era.”

Undefeated prospect Pryce Taylor Working hard to join Brooklyn’s Elite list of top heavyweight boxers

(L-R) – Claressa Shields & Pryce Taylor

NEW YORK TOROPO (July 17, 2025) - Undefeated heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor (8-0, 6 Kos) is set to return to the ring on July 26go th a Detroit. After coming off his June 6go th knockout win over Le Fountain (14-8), h is aiming to join Brooklyn’s elite heavyweights in an exclusive club.

“I’m the next great heavyweight out of Brooklyn,” Taylor proclaimed. “And I’m a top American heavyweight prospect today.”

Achieving this rare distinction is notably challenging, as Brooklyn has produced world heavyweight champions such as Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe, Floyd Patterson, Michael Moorer, le Shannon Briggs—all members of a special group within boxing’s premier division. With the exception of Briggs, each has been inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

Taylor posted a 60-11 tsenwe rekoto, won two New York Golden Gloves titles, and finished as heavyweight runner-up four times at the USA Boxing National Championships. As a professional prize fighter, the 28-year-old Taylor has put many of his opponents to sleep, much like his Brooklyn predecessors, ho akarelletsa le 6 stoppages in his 8 mollo, the last four in a row.

The Pryce is Right” has been training at Brooklyn’s Cops & Kids Boxing Gym with head trainer Benny Roman. Taylor also trained for three weeks in Delray Beach, Florida, with trainer Sugar Hill, focusing on movement and sparring. “It definitely helped,” Taylor said. “There was good sparring there, and it was a good experience overall.”

Taylor values the exposure from fighting on a Salita Promotions card headlined by unbeaten, undisputed heavyweight champion Claressa Shields (16-0, 3 Kos), ea tobaneng le Lani Daniels (11-2-2, 1 KO) a Detroit. Pele e neng e, Taylor stopped Jerell Nettles in round two on a Shields-headlined event.

“This time will be different,” Taylor pointed out. “My last fight on Claressa’s card, I was in the opening bout, off-TV, and nobody was there. I had a good seat to watch her fight, and I met her. But I’m on the main card and my fight will be streamed live on DAZN this time.”

In his first scheduled 8-round bout, Taylor will take on Robert Simms (12-4-1, 3 Kos) from Saginaw, Michigan. Two fights prior, Simms defeated previously unbeaten James McKenzie Morrison (20-1-2, 18 Kos), who is the son of the late world heavyweight champion Tommy Morrison.

“I’ve heard my opponent comes to fight,” Taylor concluded. “I really like fighting an opponent like that instead of the guys who don’t stand and fight. I also like fighting at this pace (7 weeks since his last fight) because I love boxing. I’ve been training for 8 o garela, but it’s not going the distance. I don’t see him lasting four rounds, if that.”

“I’ve kept Pryce very busy because to become a great from Brooklyn, you better be tough, talented and able to work for it,” Pryce’s manager Keith Sullivan o ile a re. “He has had eight fights in just nineteen months as a pro, and three fights fell out due to opponent injuries. That’s an old-school pace I am keeping him on. Not every fighter can handle that rate of fighting, Pryce eats it up. He can reach the upper echelon. It will take continued hard work.

“The last time he fought on Clarissa’s card, we walked into an empty arena. I leaned into him and said, ‘Enjoy the silence, soon enough you will be entering into jeering packed arenas.’ And on July 26go th that will come true.”

Sullivan, a former New York State Athletic Commission Deputy Commissioner, also manages 3-time, 2-division World Champion Miyo Yoshida (18-5) and Bronx NYPD officer Nisa Rodriguez (3-1, 1 KO). Sullivan co-manages IBF Welterweight World title challenger Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (14-1, 11 Kos) and his cousin, pro-debuting middleweight Jim Donovan, alongside coach and ex-world champion Andy Lee.

Reminder: 3-Time World Champion Miyo Yoshida is tired of playing boxing’s dreaded waiting game

NEW YORK TOROPO (July 15, 2025) - Three nako, two-division World ChampionMiyo Yoshida (18-5) is tired of waiting for her mandated International Boxing Federation (IBF) Bantamweight world title shot as its No. 1-rated mandatory challenger.

Yoshida won the World Boxing Organization (WBO) Super Flyweight title in 2019 le 2021. On December 9, 2022, she fought in San Francisco as a late replacement on only two weeks’ tsebiso, impressively defeating IBF Bantamweight World titleholderEbanie Bridges (9-1) by unanimous decision over 10 o garela (99-91, 99-91, 97-93).

Last October, Yoshida lost her IBF title in a controversial 10-round decision toShurretta Metcalf (14-5-1, 2 Kos). Last Friday night, Metcalf lost the IBF belt toCherneka Johnson (18-2, 7 Kos), the WBA Bantamweight World Champion, kaKatie Taylor-Amanda Serrano III undercard at Madison Square Garden. Le trong win, Johnson also scooped up the vacated World Boxing Council (WBC) le World Boxing Organization (WBO) lefatše litlotla.

When Metcalf defeated Yoshida, it was with highly questionable tallies of 99-91, 97-93, le 96-94. Her manager, Attorney Keith Sullivan, appealed the result to the IBF, arguing that Yoshida’s accurate jabs and higher punch connection rate should have earned her the win. Sullivan’s appeal was strongly supported by COMPUBOX statistics: Yoshida out-landed Metcalf in eight of the 10 rounds by a margin of 96 ho 64 in total connects, ho akarelletsa le 49-17 edge in jabs and 30 ho 16 in punches landed to the body. Yoshida’s defensive skills were also on display, with Metcalf landing just nine percent of her overall punches thrown.

The IBF ruled in January that Yoshida was its No. 1 e tlamang challenger, requiring the titleholder to defend against Miyo by this October.

Yoshida’s promoterLou DiBella, got her back into the win column against a tough opponent on February 1, when she defeatedBeata Dudek ka 10 ho pota ntsoe-leng qeto ea (99-91, 97-93, 96-94).

“Miyo is a three-time world champ and a trailblazing symbol for Japanese women as an athlete and single mom. I applaud the IBF for recognizing that Yoshida deserves the opportunity to regain her belt. We will continue to push for Miyo to get her title shot as soon as possible, and I am confident that we can work out a deal with MVP. They are in the business of making the best fights in women’s boxing. Undisputed Champ Cherneka Johnson vs. Miyo is a terrific match,” said Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment.

“Lou has done a great job keeping Miyo active and creating great opportunities for her. The time is here for Miyo’s title match to finally get scheduled. Ka lehlohonolo, Jake and Nakisa are helping to change the landscape for women in boxing under their MVP banner,” stated Miyo’s manager, Keith Sullivan. “Congratulations to Cherneka, who fought a great fight and made history. The styles of Miyo and Johnson will make for an exciting, Fan-botsoalle loana. We have two promoters who firmly support women’s boxing, so I am confident we will get that title fight scheduled as soon as possible,” concluded Sullivan.

From ringside Friday night, Miyo said, “Johnson had the perfect fight plan. I respect her, but we’ll have a more intense fistfight. E le, let’s finally get my mandatory title fight scheduled. We’ll see in the ring who deserves to raise the belt as the IBF bantamweight champion.”

Miyo Yoshida, e tsejoang e le “Fighting Single Mother” a Japan, is a respected role model and was the recipient ofRing Magazine‘s “Most Inspirational Female Fighter” award in 2023. She is among just 23 female world champions from Japan and only the sixth to hold world titles in multiple weight classes.

Sullivan, a former New York State Athletic Commission Deputy Commissioner, also manages undefeated Brooklyn heavyweightPryce Taylor (8-0, 6 Kos) and Bronx NYPD officerNisa Rodriguez (3-1, 1 KO). Sullivan co-manages IBF Welterweight World title challengerPaddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (14-1, 11 Kos) and his cousin, pro-debuting middleweightJim Donovan, alongside coach and ex-world championAndy Lee.

QUOTES AND PHOTOS FROM TONY HARRISON’S OPEN MEDIA WORKOUT TODAY IN DETROIT

PHOTOSMONA (PLEASE CREDIT: Adam Dewey/Salita Promotions)

Detroit (July 15, 2025) – Embodying the Detroit fighting spirit, Harrison boasts a highly decorated career that spans over fourteen years. On a mission to reclaim a world title, Harrison is set to step back into the ring for the first time since his WBO Interim Super Welterweight showdown against Tim Tszyu in 2023. A force in the super welterweight division, Harrison defeated Jermell Charlo in 2018 to become the WBC Super Welterweight Champion, giving Charlo his first defeat. Lekhetlong lena, Harrison is gearing up to perform for his hometown fans in the Motor City as the co-main event of the highly anticipated Claressa Shields vs. Lani Daniels Heavyweight World Championship event on Moqebelo, July 26, at Little Caesars Arena.

Opposite Harrison will be Dominican Republic’s Edward Diaz (15-6, 12 Kos). A heavy-handed competitor, Diaz is on the heels of a knockout victory over Juan Martinez.

The GWOATClaressa Shields (16-0, 3 Kos), will return home on Saturday, July 26, when she puts her Undisputed Heavyweight World Championship on the line in the main event atLittle Caesars Arena against the reigning IBF Lt. Heavyweight World Champion from New ZealandLani Daniels (11-2-2, 1 KO). Shields vs. Daniels will air live on the global home of boxing, DAZN. Shields, the most decorated female boxer in history, made headlines earlier this year by becoming the first woman ever to claim the Undisputed Heavyweight World Championship—and the first boxer, male or female, to achieve undisputed status in three weight divisions.

Dmitriy Salita, President of Salita Promotions:

“Tony Harrison and his family are the bedrock of the Detroit boxing community — deeply rooted, respected, and committed to giving back. It’s meaningful that Tony, the last world champion from Detroit, will be fighting at Little Caesars Arena, just minutes from where he grew up. Alongside Claressa Shields, another Michigan-born icon, this event showcases the strength, pride, and legacy of boxing in our great state.”

Tony Harrison:

“I can’t wait to fight in my hometown of Detroit on July 26th. The middleweight division better take notice — I’m coming for my second world title, and I’m more focused than ever.”

“It’s incredible to see what Salita is doing for boxing in Detroit. We’re here in my gym, right in the heart of the city, with cameras and photographers — and the kids see it. They get inspired. I’m fighting just down the street at Little Caesars Arena, live on DAZN, and that kind of visibility motivates the next generation. That’s what it’s all about.”
