European champion Jean Jacques Olivier (15-2-1, 10KO) has pulled himself out of the June 10th bout 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fight will have a catch weight of 216 lbs and although this isn\u2019t 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\u2019t want to give any advantage away to Zamig, there is literally no other options\u201d – Stated Managing Director of Three Lions Promotions Daniel Otter.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe 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\u201d- Furthered Otter.<\/p>\n
Zamig is no stranger to Canadian boxing, currently residing in Toronto, having his last bout in Montreal against heavyweight top prospect and undefeated Canadian champion Alexis Barriere (10-0-0, 8KOs) back in March of this year. Atakishiyev will be looking to use his significant weight advantage to upset the world ranked Rozicki to propel his own career.<\/p>\n
The co main event will see current WBC World Youth title holder Pedro \u201cSimba\u201d Bernal (11-1,3KOs) collide with former World title challenger Tyson \u201cThe Prince of Hali\u201d Cave (35-3,13KOs) for 8 rounds or less.<\/p>\n
The undercard will see Rozicki\u2019s TLP stablemate, Ukrainian Light Heavyweight standout Artur Ziyatdinov (14-1-0, 10KOs) pitted against Jesus Moroyoqui Palomares (7-2-1, 4Kos) of Mexico.<\/p>\n
The card will also include further local talent with a trio of fighters from Halifax taking on all Canadian opposition. Kyle McNeil (13-4-1, 2KOs) against Dylan Rushton (2-9-3) of Ontario, Canada for 8 rounds or less in the welterweight division.
