THREE LIONS PROMOTIONS IS BACK IN BUSINESS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Three Lions Promotions regrets to announce that Salar Gholami has withdrawn from the main event of \u201cBack in Business\u201d due to a suspected injury. Ryan Rozicki (12-0-0, 12KOs) will now face former Canadian cruiserweight champion and Commonwealth title challenger Sylvester \u201cSly\u201d Louis (8-6-0, 4KOs) of Montreal, Quebec.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to thank Sly for taking this bout on such short notice.\u201d- states Managing Director, Daniel Otter. \u201cAs to why he [Salar] will not be fighting has yet to be confirmed, but he is out.\u201d- Furthered Otter.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited to share the ring with a vet like Sly but nothings changed to me, I\u2019m ready for the challenge.\u201d- Explained Rozicki<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the hype of Rozicki yah sure, but come next week, I\u2019m taking the belt back home with me.\u201d- Said Sylvera Louis<\/p>\n

Over the last several years, Louis has fought an incredible roster of boxers, including two bouts with leading bridgerweight contender Oscar Rivas. Up at heavyweight, he has defeated two Canadian champions in Dillon Carman and Eric Martel Bahoeli. This showdown will be a title defence for Rozicki\u2019s WBA NABA Canadian Cruiserweight title. Despite taking the fight on short notice, Louis will no doubt be one of Rozicki’s toughest tests to date.<\/p>\n

—————————————————————————————————-<\/p>\n

Antonio Napolitano (5-0, 3 KOs) of St. Catharines, Ont will take on Winnipeg\u2019s Codey Hanna (7-5, 5KO) in an 8 round fight at a catch weight of 172lbs, putting it just 3lbs under the light heavyweight threshold. The 172 lbs weight limit could create problems for either fighter, Codey\u2019s last bout being at the 200 lbs mark and Antonio weighing in under 165 lbs for his last outing.<\/p>\n

Napolitano\u2019s 3LP team member and Fellow Ontarian from Orangeville, Jake Daoust (1-0) will face Stuart Twardzik(1-0, 1 KO) of Saskatoon, SK in a 6 round affair which is sure to be a crowd pleaser.<\/p>\n

Local Vancouver talent will be showcased, with both Jacob George and Scott Woodward making their pro debuts against each other.<\/p>\n

Also Mohamed Zawadi of Barrie Ontario will be making his highly anticipated pro debut.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is very important to build boxing back up in Canada after this pandemic and having a handful of pro debuts is exactly what\u2019s needed.\u201d explained Otter.<\/p>\n

Both the local commission and the WBC sanctioning body are eager for boxing to return.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter a great deal of safety planning and preparation, we are excited to see Pro Boxing return to BC with a strong showing for its first major event scheduled for Vancouver in April of 2021.\u201d Kelly Gilday, BC athletics commissioner<\/p>\n

This will be a closed-door event with no fans.<\/p>\n
