Former world title challenger Ryan Rozicki (14-1, 14 KOs) of Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada will take on unbeaten Yamil Alberto Peralta (13-0, 6 KOs) of Buenos Aires, Argentina on May 7th. The bout will be a WBC cruiserweight world title eliminator and take place at the Centre 200 in Rozicki’s native Nova Scotia, Canada.
Rozicki fought valiently this past October as the underdog, dropping a close decision to the heavily favored Oscar Rivas for the vacant WBC bridgerweight title. He rebounded by knocking out Mexico´s German Garcia Montes on March 19th.
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 a cruiserweight world title eliminator with Rozicki ranked by the WBC #9 and Peralta WBC #10. This is a great fight to promote and I’m sure fight fans will be thrilled.”
