Three Lions Promotions Presents: RYAN ROZICKI vs ZAMIG ATAKISHIYEV Live In Halifax

Ryan Rozicki (17-1-0, 16KOs) steps up to heavyweight to take on Zamig Atakishiyev (8-1-1, 6KOs) of Azerbaijan for 10 rounds or less.

“The fight will have a catch weight of 216 lbs and although this isn’t our optimal path, no one in his weight class wants any part of the Bruiser (Rozicki). He (Rozicki) is a small cruiserweight and although we don’t want to give any advantage away to Zamig, there is literally no other options” – Stated Managing Director of Three Lions Promotions Daniel Otter.

“We want to give a massive thank you to Zamig and his team for taking this fight on such short notice, may the best man win”- Furthered Otter.
