The Sydney Forks product claimed the 16th victory of his professional career
“I’m definitely happy with the result, there’s no hospital trip after this one, so that’s always a bonus,” said Rozicki in a post-fight interview.
Last month, Three Lions Promotions announced Bekdash’s replacement would be 43-year-old Allan Green of Tulsa, Okla., who once fought for the World Boxing Association’s world title. But the Hamilton-based company announced Green would not be participating in the fight due to a hand injury he suffered last week while preparing for the Rozicki fight.
“I have to thank him for that,” said Rozicki. “I’ve taken fights on short notice as well and they’re not easy, so hats off to him for that.” The fight went down to the score cards and saw a split-decision victory for Rozicki. The decision immediately sparked controversy on social media and many in attendance for the bout felt the same way.
In the interview with the Post, Rozicki said getting a victory before going to the score cards was something he wanted to do because it “eliminates the controversy.”
