Two major fighters of Andrzej Gmitruk's O'Chikara Team didn't dissapoint last night in Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski. Dariusz Sęk (12-0-1, 4 KO) defeated solid Georgian Sandro Siproshvili (24-9, 11 KO) by wide UD in the fight of the night. His colleague Mateusz Masternak (23-0, 17 KO), undefeated cruiserweight prospect, beat Arturs Kulikauskis (7-9-2, 4 KO) by TKO in the 7th.

Sęk is not heavy-handed but his very good ring generalship and tactical awareness allowed him to control the fight with ease. Its encouraging sign of young man's surprising maturity 'cause Georgian fighter was an opponent with respectable record and skills. He tried to make it an inside fight yet he couldn't threaten with anything - Sęk felt comfortable in outboxing his opponent from the outside, often landing nice variety of punches to the head and body. In the tenth round Siproshvili went down after Sęk's hook but wasn't hurt at all and fought bravely till the last bell. Scorecards were - 98:92, 97-92 and 99-90. 

Masternak's opponent was never stopped before so ''Master'' tried to make a statement and succeeded - barrage of  hard punches landing on tough Kulikauskis forced the referee to stop it. Masternak started patiently and gradually builded up the good pace. It was hard to believe that his opponent managed to survive till the 7th after the amount of pain brought by Masternak. This encounter was a warm-up before autumn's fight against much better opponent. Polish fighters (especially Masternak and Kołodziej) are moving up in cruiserweight rankings and championship fights can be soon possible. Krzysztof ''Diablo'' Wlodarczyk still holds WBC belt so Poles are strong in CW after Tomasz Adamek's move to heavyweight. Many opportunities will come for them after coming up fights of Huck against Garay and Jones vs Hernandez (reportedly Jones will fight Cuban in August). It's highly unlikely that cruiser's Super Six will happen this year and champions in this division will probably take on relatively lesser known names, such as ''Master''.

Mateusz Masternak (21-0, 15 KO) remains unbeaten after the 12-round fight against Ismail Abdoul (36-19-2, 14 KO) whcih was the main event of the boxing show organised by O'Chikara Gmitruk Team in Chełm, Poland. The 23-year-old Pole easily outpointed the experienced opponent and grabbed the IBO Inter-Continental cruiserweight title. All of the three judges scored the bout 120:108.

The bout was not as spectacular as last performances of the prospective boxer (TKO 8 over Arrami in March, TKO over Jomardashwili in June), mainly because of the 34-rival's approach to the fight. The Belgian limited himself to "hunting" for a single powerful hook which was not enough to surprise Masternak. The advantage of "Master" was unquestionable in each round. However, the fighter trained by Andrzej Gmitruk (a former coach of Tomasz Adamek, one of the most respected Polish boxing trainer ever) was constantly facing problems with breaking Abdoul's solid defence. The most impressive round was the last one. The WBC#12 Polish cruiserweight decided to attack more resolutely and threw the biggest amount of punches among all the rounds. Nevertheless, Masternak was unable to hurt Abdoul seriously and the fight went to scorecards.

Abdoul is one of the most respected journeymen in the whole Europe. Despite 19 professional losses, he was knocked out only once - in 2002 by the current WBC cruiserweight champion Krzysztof Włodarczyk (44-2-1, 32 KO). Thus, Masternak joined a wide group of fighters who did not manage to finish the Belgian before the final bell. The group includes such big names as David Haye, Tomasz Adamek, Enzo Macarinelli, Marco Huck or Yoan Pablo Hernandez.

Masternak claims that he is already prepared to face the 29-year-old compatriot. - I can say that I'm ready to face Włodarczyk. I had my first 12 round in the professional career this Friday. It means that I already know how to dispose my power during a 12-round battle. My fight against Włodarczyk would be a "desirable bite" for Polish boxing fans. The television would be denititely interested in such bout. Why should we put it off? - Masternak rhetorically asks after defeating Abdoul.

On November 5, WBC #9 and one of the most promising Polish youngsters Mateusz Masternak (20-0, 15 KOs) will have a hard test ahead of him. Masternak takes on ultra durable Belgian veteran Ismail Abdoul (36-18-2, 14 KOs) for a vacant IBO I/C belt. Abdoul mixed it up with the best cruiserweights around, including world champions Marco Huck, David Haye, Enzo Maccarinelli and Giacobbe Fragomeni, and was stopped only once by Pole Krzysztof Wlodarczyk. Masternak will have to fight hard to achieve the same result.

Welterweight Lukasz Maciec (11-1-1, 2 KOs) battles Saber Gasmi (11-6-1, 3 KOs) in an undercard. Super middleweight Roman Shkarupa (23-2-2, 8 KOs) and light heavyweight Dariusz Sek (8-0-1, 3 KOs) will also be featured.

Mateusz Masternak (20-0, 15 KO) showed great boxing and proved again that he is already preapred to face greatest names in the cruiserweight division. The Pole stopped Levan Jomardashvili (20-1, 16 KO) in the fifth round of the battle for the interim WBC Youth title which took place in Kielce, Poland.

Masternak gained a firm advantage from the very beginning of the fight. Although Jomardashvili, previously undefeated, was striving to menace the 23-year old prospect with his left hooks, Masternak was skilfully avoiding the punches, thanks to a solid footwork. The WBC #10 rated Pole was effectively reciprocating, dealing straight rights. In the third round, Mateusz threw a powerful liver shot which seemed to be the first hard moment for the Georgian rival.

No sooner had the fourth round started than Masternak repeated the successful hook. When Jomardashvili was endeavoring to clench, the Pole dealt a right hook and the Georgian landed on the canvas. A few moments later, the referee, Grzegorz Molenda was counting him again. Despite the ambitious approach, Jomardashvil had to give up in the next round. The powerful right to the rival's chin finished the impressive performance of the Pole.

A promising cruiserweight, Mateusz Masternak (18-0, 13 KO) will face average Marco Heinichen (11-22-2, 6 KO) during the night of boxing on April 17 in Magdeburg, Germany. The bout between the WBC Youth Cruiserweight title holder from Poland and Heinich is scheduled for eight rounds and completes the show. The main event of the evening in Magdeburg will be the WBC middleweight contest between undefeated Sebastian Zbik (28-0, 10 KO) and Domenico Spada (30-2, 15 KO).

Marco Heinichen replaced more demanding Jiri Svacina (11-4, 1 KO) who originally had to compete with 22-year-old Masternak but finally chose the offer from a Belgian journeyman, Ismail Abdoul (32-17-2, 13 KO). For the WBC#17 rated Masternak, the clash against the '73 born German will be a part of preparations to a much harder trial, scheduled on the beggining of June.

Mateusz Masternak (18-0, 13 KO) retains the interim WBC Youth Cruiserweight title after knocking out Faisal Ibnel Arrami (11-2, 8 KO) in the eight round of the main event of the Diamond Boxing Night in Katowice, Poland. That's another fight which will certainly let the Polish crusier gain higher positions in the important federation's rankigns.

The Pole completely dominated "The African King" who hadn't much to say during the whole clash and finished it with a badly damaged face. After the seventh round, all the three judges scored 70:63 for the 22-year-old prospect who finished the work in the subsequent one. Then, Masternak shook Arrami with a solid punch on his chin and was continuing the attack when the Tunisian's corner reasonably decided to stop the uneven bout. Who will stop this promising cruiser?

The upcoming Saturday promises very exciting for the boxing fans in Katowice, Poland. Several top Polish fighters, including Mateusz Masternak (17-0, 12 KO), Matt Zegan (40-5-1, 21 KO) and Wojciech Bartnik (23-4-1, 9 KO), will appear in the ring during "Diamond Boxing Night". The show promoted by Andrzej Grajewski will take place at a well-known "Spodek" hall.

Mateusz Masternak, a promising cruiserweight will try to remain unbeaten after a 12-round contest against a 25-year-old Tunisian – Faisal Ibnel Arami (11-1, 8 KO) and retain the interim WBC Youth World cruiserweight title. In the professional career, Arami was defeated only once by tough and respected Rachid El Hadak. However, a 22-year-old Pole realizes who is the favourite of the Saturday encounter and seems to be self-confident.

- I feel very well, I've been working hard with Andrzej Gmitruk and Piotr Wilczewski. As far as my rival, I saw his fights, he's physically strong. My advantage will come from my left jab and the foot work. If he'll be chasing me, I'll engage and the fans will get what they like – said Masternak.

22-year-old Polish cruiserweight Mateusz Masternak (15-0-0, 10 KO) and ‘78 born super middleweight Piotr Wiczewski (24-1-0, 7KO) will present their skills during the evening with professional boxing scheduled on 19 December in Radom, Poland.

Both fighters have already a few days of preparation behind them. TWBA Interim champion Mateusz Masternak, who enjoys the opinion of the most prospective Polish boxer, recalls his last encounter against Łukasz Janik (15-1-0, 8 KO) which took place on October 24.

In a heated cross-roader between two unbeaten cruiserweights, younger and technically sounder Mateusz Masternak (15-0, 10 KOs) stopped Lukasz Janik (15-1, 8 KOs) in five round. Janik tried to apply his usual aggressive style from the outset but his pressure was far from being smart. At the end of round one, Masternak dropped Janik for the first time. Both fighters engaged it in the second but Masternak, working from the distance, was just a slightly better man in the ring. Janik had some success in rounds three and four. In the fifth stanza, both fighters engaged in some heated encounters and during the last minute Masternak dropped his foe once again with the counter left hook to the jaw. Janik was able to get himself up but was unsteady enough for referee to stop the contest with forty seconds remaining. Huge win for 22-year old Wroclaw native.
