Undefeated Australian featherweight Tyler “The Wizard” Blizzard will face countryman Rocky Ogden on the Jai Opetaia-Claudio Squeo card at the Gold Coast Convention Centre in Broadbeach on May 13.

Blizzard, 9-0 (4 KOs), is the Australian champion and originally from Launceston in Tasmania. Ogden is 7-2 (5 KOs) and lives on the Gold Coast, Queensland, and had more than 40 Muay Thai bouts before switching to boxing.

“Fighting for the IBF Pan Pacific title is a step towards my dream of becoming world champion,” said Blizzard. “Rocky is a tough competitor, but I’m ready to put on a show for the fans and take another step toward a world title.”

Ogden, 25, said: “Competing for the IBF Pan Pacific title in my hometown is an incredible honor. Tyler is a skilled fighter, but I’m confident in my preparation and ready to seize this moment.”

The show is promoted by Tasman Fighters, Matchroom Boxing, Goldstar Promotions, and Experience Gold Coast, and Michael Francis – of Tasman Fighters – said: “This could be the fight of the night. Both Tyler and Rocky are warriors who refuse to take a backward step. Fans are in for an absolute treat.”
