Boxing fans chant the name of their local fighter as a Cape Breton Island flag waves proudly in the air.<\/p>\n

As the well-lit Centre 200 goes dark, fans quickly rise to their feet to welcome to the ring the professional boxer they\u2019ve all come to see.<\/p>\n

The cheers and applause of 3,158 fans become even louder as Frankie MacDonald holding a Cape Breton flag leads Ryan (The Bruiser) Rozicki of Sydney Forks into his bout with Shawn Miller of Troy, N.Y.<\/p>\n

Walking towards the ring, Rozicki is greeted by his supporters tapping him on the arm and back as he walks past on his way to the centre ring.<\/p>\n

Not only was the Rozicki and Miller bout the main event of the All or Nothing boxing card, it was also a fight for the WBC International Silver cruiserweight championship.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old Rozicki didn\u2019t disappoint his hometown fans as he captured the prestigious belt with a third-round knockout victory.<\/p>\n

Rozicki\u2019s record improves to 10-0-0, while Miller\u2019s record falls to 18-5-1. The win marks Rozicki\u2019s third championship victory in less than a year.<\/p>\n

Rozicki, who turned professional in 2016, captured the Canadian Professional Boxing Council\u2019s North American cruiserweight title in May 2018 in Sydney, before adding the WBA NABA Canadian cruiserweight title last October in Hamilton, Ont.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything that (coach) Stevie Bailey and I worked on went as planned, we trained for (Shawn) Miller for 10 weeks,\u201d said Rozicki following the bout.<\/p>\n

\u201cMiller basically did everything we were expecting him to do and I took advantage of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
