A Polish super middleweight, Piotr Wilczewski (25-1, 8 KO) will face 37-year-old Aziz Daari (24-13-4, 20 KO) in the final bout of the boxing show scheduled on April 9 in Dzierżoniów, Poland. The stake of the 10-round battle will be the WBF International title. The event will be promoted by O'chikara Gmitruk Team. Wilczewski, beaten only once in his professional career by Curtis Stevens (21-3, 15 KO), is preparing himself to the fight with a participant of the Super Six tournament, Mikkel Kessler (42-2. 32 KO).

Currently, 31-year-old Wilczewski stays in Denmark and trains with Kessler, who in turn waits for the upcoming fight for the WBC belt against Carl Froch. "Wilk" will conduct his last sparring with the Dane on Friday and then he will come back to Poland in order to finish his preparations. Wilczewski realizes that the contest in Dzierżoniów will not be the easiest one. - I know that the Frenchman strikes hard but I'm prepared for that. The sparrings with Kessler gave me a lot. I'm in a good shape, I'm not injured. I have to win because I fight in my hometown, people count on me – the Pole said.

The upcoming tussle will be really important for "Wilk". Recently, he received a few interesting offers, such as a fight for the IBF Inter-Continental belt which would take place in late May in Italy. The obligatory condition for the Pole to fulfil is, obviously, the victory over Daari. - I received a call concerning the proposal. There are possibilities to fight for the IBF Inter-Continental title but everything must be confirmed on paper. Currently, only the next fight matters for me – the '78 born super middleweight reveals.
