Rozicki is now the WBC mandatory at cruiserweight

Ryan Rozicki TKO1 Olandewaju Durodola ... Canada's Ryan Rozicki defeated Nigeria's Olandewaju Durodola by technical knockout in the first round at the Emera Center in Rozicki's home province, Nova Scotia.  It was a WBC cruiserweight eliminator, so the win made Rozicki the mandatory challenger for newly minted WBC champion Noel Mikaelian. When a little more than half of the round had passed, Rozicki landed a big right hand on Durodola, staggering the Nigerian. After that, Rozicki went all out until the referee intervened and stopped the fight. Rozicki increased his record to 20-1 with 19 KOs, his seventh straight win since dropping a WBC bridgerweight title fight to Oscar Rivas. The 43 year-old Durodola falls to (43-10 with 40 KOs and is probably done at the world level..
