Noel Gevor Mikaleyan is currently on an impressive unbeaten run of four match wins. The 34-year-old fighter is fighting out of Miami, Florida, with a foundation style in boxing. His last fight was on November 4, 2023, in DKP, winning the vacant WBC World Cruiserweight Title against Ilunga Makabu in the third round via TKO/KO. Prior to this fight, he won the vacant WBC Silver Cruiserweight Title against Youri Kayembre Kalenga on February 12, 2022, via unanimous decision. On December 12, 2020, he won the vacant WBC International Cruiserweight Title against Jesse Bryan in the fourth round via technical knockout.

Ryan Rozicki boasts of a professional career record of twenty wins and one loss. He is nicknamed “The Bruiser” and fights out of Sydney, Nova Scotia. In 2022, he won the vacant WBC International Title against the Argentine Yamil Peralta in the tenth round via points decision. His only career loss was in 2021 against Columbia`s Oscar Rivas, which lasted into the twelfth round by way of a majority decision. His last fight was on December 2, 2023, in 3LP against Olarenwaju Durodola, which ended in a TKO/KO victory.

Noel Gevor Mikaleyan has been a serial title winner, one known to win titles as he upscales. This time he will be having to defend one of his titles, something he has not been doing over the years. Now he is 35 years old and surely with a great wealth of experience, but now he is against an opponent with a nine-year age difference. This makes it a tough one to call. Ryan Rozicki has not been much in title fights, which is a different pressure fight altogether. I see this bout extending over five rounds, with Noel winning this based on his wealth of experience.
