Tomasz Hutkowski (17-0-1, 12 KO) easily defeated Jozsef Nagy (21-6, 14 KO) during boxing night in Rzeszów, Poland. The promising Polish cruiserweight gave the Hungarian no chances in a two-round clash finished via TKO in the second round.

It was probably the most spectacular Hutkowski’s performance in the career. Not very tall Nagy started aggressively but 23-year-old “Tommy” safely blocked all of his blows. After that, Hutkowski shook the Hungarian rival with a few straight rights and finally dealt a powerful blow on his chin. However, the 34-year-old Hungarian, who inconvenienced another Polish prospect – Paweł Kołodziej two years ago, managed to survive this severe crisis. The undefeated Pole continued his show in the second bout. Firstly, he strongly hit Nagy on the trunk several times. When the Hungarian lowered his hands, Dave Paris, an experienced referee, had to stop the fight because of Hutkowski’s series of effective hooks.  

After a superb performance, Dawid Kostecki (33-1, 23 KO) defeated Dario Cichello (18-7-2, 5 KO) in a fight for vacant IBC light heavyweight title which took place in Rzeszów, Poland. Kostecki finished his Italian rival in the seventh round when he floored Cichello with a powerful right hook. The Italian managed to stand up but Daniel Van de Viele, an experienced referee, mercifully stopped this uneven contest.

’81 born Kostecki fully controlled the fight from the first gong, He seemed to be too fast for his 31-year-old opponent who looked bewildered in a few moments of the battle. The Polish light heavyweight was close to finish the fight in the fourth round knocking Cichello down with a right hook. The Italian survived thanks to the bell announcing the round’s end. In the next two bouts, constantly attacking “Gypsy” did not let Cichello to respond properly and finished the job in the seventh one. When the Italian unexpectedly started his hasty attack and tried to hit Kostecki in the corner, the Pole dealt the final blow of the clash, winning by TKO.

22-year-old heavyweight Andrzej Wawrzyk (17-0, 10 KO) remains unbeaten after the 8-round battle against Harvey Jolly (10-13, 5 KO). The fight which took place at UIC Pavilion in Chicago was his first performance in America and finished with unanimous decision. Scores were: 79-73, 79-73 and 78-74.

Despite the defeat, '76 born Jolly gave an important lesson of American boxing to the still unexperienced Pole. "Candy Man", whose weight was only 220 lbs (92 kg), turned out to be very inconvenient and managed to floor Wawrzyk in the fourth round with a powerful right. Fortunately, Polish prospect immediately pulled himself together and seemed to control the course of events. During the whole contest, Wawrzyk was pointing the American with straight left which made it possible to win clearly via scorecards. When Jolly started losing his strenght in the seventh round, Wawrzyk truly dominated the clash, hitting him effectively time after time. In the final bout, the Pole was close to finish "Candy Man" bombarding him with series of punches in the corner but the 33-year old opponent survived skilfully.

Heavyweight contender Tomasz Adamek (39-1, 27 KOs) held a media workout Tuesday to promote his February 6th fight at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ, against Jason “Big Six” Estrada (16-2, 4 KOs). Adamek is training at the World Boxing Gym and Fitness Center in Jersey City, NJ. In regard to Estrada’s comments that Adamek will have a problem with his hand speed, Adamek commented, “I’m fast too! I think I am stronger. He must know this: my jab is very strong and my right has the most power.”

When asked about his weight now and whether he prefers cruiserweight or heavyweight, Adamek stated, “This weight is natural for me so its very comfortable. I’m eating more and I am not hungry. For the fight maybe I will weigh what I weigh today which is 222 lbs. This is my natural weight which makes me happier when I go into training. Cruiserweight was more difficult for me because I always had a problem getting to the weight, especially when I was 175. I feel very good at this weight; I feel faster.

Undefeated Polish prospect Grzegorz Proksa (19-0, 12 KO) will come face-to-face against 29 years old British Marcus Portman (20-7-2, 3 KO) on Februarry 12 in York Hall (Bethnal Green), London. The winner of the fight will gain EBU-EU middleweight belt, currently vacant in connection with the decision of the previous champion - Affif Belghecham (19-4-1, 4 KO).

Proksa is preparing to the bout with his coach and friend Ian Johnson in Great Britain.The sparringparners of "Super G" are, among others, a recent pretender to Commonwealth (British Empire) middleweight title Danny Butler (18-3, 3 KO) and unbeaten Martin Robins (5-0, 0 KO). The fighters conduct their sparrings in Bristol. The local gym was one of the first in the glorious career of Lennox Lewis.

- I've been training for two months so I believe that will come into the ring in the best possible fit – said '84 born Proksa who seems to be a strong favourite of the upcoming bout.

Undefeated heavyweight, Andrzej Wawrzyk (16-0, 10 KO), considered by numerous boxing experts as the successor of Andrew Golota will fight for the first time in the United States on January 29 th. The rival of  the Polish prospect will be a 33-year-old American, Harvey Jolly (10-12-1, 5 KO). The bout will take place at UIC Pavilion in Chicago.

'87 born Wawrzyk is a current WBC Youth heavyweight title holder. He is 6'5'' (195 cm) tall and weighs about 230 lbs (105 kg). On December 18 th, the Polish prospect outpointed a silver medallist of the 2001 World Amateur Boxing Championships - Alexey Mazikin (13-4-2, 3 KO). As an amateur, at the junior age, Wawrzyk won EU super heavyweight title in 2006.

During a press conference which took place on Jaunary 25th and concerned Diamond Boxing Night, Andrzej Grajewski – the promoter of the event revealed numerous significant informations about the show scheduled on March 6th at Spodek in Katowice, Poland. It turned out that there will be an opportunity to see top Polish fighters in action.

The main event of the show will be a Damian Jonak's (24-0-1, 17 KO) fight for vacant EBA light middleweight title. The name of the '85 born Pole's rival is currently unknown. Another interesting part of the evening will be a performance of undefeated Mateusz Masternak (17-0, 12 KO). The promising cruiser will defend his interim WBC Youth cruiserweight belt.

The event which Polish fans have been waiting for seven years is close to come true. 33-year-old Matt Zegan (45-5, 21 KO) seeks sweet revenge on Artur Grigorian (38-1, 22 KO) he lost to in controversial circumstances on January 2003. The second fight will probably take place during Diamond Boxing Night scheduled on March 6th in Katowice, Poland. The first meeting of both fighters was a clash for WBO lightweight title in Essen, Germany. The clash finished after 12 rounds of Zegan's solid boxing but the judges established the '67 born Uzbek as the winner.

- I want this revenge to come true. In the past, there was somebody who didn't want this bout and interfered with the organization matters. Klaus Peter Kohl accepted the possible fight as well as Grigorian so certailny we will carry it through – said Zegan who recently rejected, i.a. in order to face Grigorian again, the offer of unbeaten Kevin Mitchell's (30-0, 22 KO) team concerning a bout for WBO Inter-Continental lightweight title - A fight for an inter-continental title is an interesting offer, but the financial issues looked not as good as I would like to. I know the rates of money possible to earn in Great Britain but the profits they offered me are not so enticing so I turned down the proposal.

To solve the situation with the recently vacated WBC cruiserweight title, the sanctioning body has ordered two eliminators. The winners will meet for the vacant title.

In the first fight, the WBC ordered ex-champ Giacobbe Fragomeni to face Krzystof Wlodarczyk and a second eliminator ordered will pit Herbie Hide against Francisco Palacios.

Light middleweight Paweł Wolak made another significant step approaching him to a fight for a professional title. This time, the 28-year old Pole outpointed an American Ishmail Arvin during a boxing night at Madison Square Garden, NY.

Wolak did not disappoint his fans and showed his trade mark again – constant pressing and permanent attack. "Raging Bull" bombarded the opponent with series of left and right hooks. When Arvin raised his hands, Wolak was hitting with body punches. The bout finished after eight rounds with unanimous decision of judges. The scores were: 80:72, 79:73 and 79:73 again.

Undefeated since 2006 Dawid Kostecki (32-1, 22 KO) will stand a chance of winning vacant IBC light heavyweight belt during "Wojak Boxing Night" on February 6th in Rzeszów, Poland. His opponent will be a former pretender to EBU-EU title – Dario Cichello (18-6-2, 5 KO).

'78 born Cichello is a bit taller than Kostecki, he is 1,84 m. In 2008, the Italian lost via unanimous decision to Antonio Brancalion in a fight for EBU-EU light heavyweight title. The bout turned out to be the only Cichello's defeat in three years time.

Originally, Kostecki's promoters announced Carl Handy as the rival of "Gypsy" in Rzeszów but the decision was changed in connection with possible problems of the opponent's leaving his country – Canada.

Following a near shutout victory against Olympic Bronze Medallist Paolo Vidoz to capture the vacant Heavyweight title, does Albert “The Dragon” Sosnowski have what it takes to follow in the footsteps of previous European Heavyweight title holders Lennox Lewis and the Klitschko brothers and propel himself into world title contention?

Sosnowski of course has been around a long time with 45 victories on his record, only 2 losses and 1 draw, but he is still only 30 which is very young for a heavyweight. He is also well travelled, having fought all around the world since his pro debut in 1998, the man from Warsaw has made visits to Denmark, Holland, the US, Hungary, South Africa, and Germany; as well as fighting in Poland and his adopted home England.

Polish-German businessman Andrew Grajewski has begun a new Polish-German boxing team. Main star is jr middleweight Damian Jonak and lightweight veteran Matt Zegan is also part of the team along with Daniel Urbanski, reigning IBF Youth jr middle champ. Grajewski´s first show goes ahead in Berlin February 6 under GBA license. Jonak was previously with Bullit Knockout in Poland and there are lawsuits in both German and Polish courts in this matter for breach of contract.

The show February 6 is billed as "Brunch-Boxen"; and begin at noon. Andrew Grajewski have in the past collaborated with Universum for many of Dariusz Michalczewki´s title fights.

Promoter Dan Goossen informed boxingtalk.com that Chris Arreola (28-1, 25 KO) most likely will face Tomasz Adamek (37-1, 26 KO) on HBO's Boxing After Dark on April 24.

TOMASZ ADAMEK LATEST NEWS >>

Currently this fight is in works and nothing is decided yet, but Tomasz Adamek is the short list of opponents.

Ending a prolific and breakthrough year of 2009, the Baltic Boxing Union (BBU) board (via its pre-scheduled meeting) has finally announced its annual awards. Among the award winners, there are three Poles. First is Tomasz Babilonski, who won title of "PROMOTER OF THE YEAR". He promoted totally four BBU or BBU International title fights in 2009. Those fights were: Krzysztof Cieslak (POL) W8 Sergejs Savrinovics (LAT), Pawel Glazewski (POL) TKO5 Martins Kukuls (LAT), Krzysztof Glowacki (POL) W6 Lukasz Rusiewicz (POL) and Pawel Glazewski (POL) W6 Leo Tchoula (CAM/GER). Tomasz Babilonski with his Babilon Promotions is one of the most active Polish professional boxing promoters after having promoted nine (9) shows this year.

Tomasz Adamek (39-1, 27 KO) is getting heavier and heavier before his upcoming fight against Jason Estrada (16-2, 4 KO) scheduled on February 6 in Newark. According to the interiew given to the Polsat News channel, "Goral" currently weighs 101 kilograms (223 lb) and feels that his muscles are still growing.

The best Polish heavyweight is being prepared to the bout by the tandem of coaches. Andrzej Gmitruk who stands in Adamek's corner for years will remain the head trainer and Roger Bloodworth who joined the team recently is there to assist.

- There will be no conflicts between me and Gmitruk. I'm not a quarrelsome man. I can get on well with everybody – said Bloodworth, previously known as a coach of another Polish heavyweight, Andrew Golota. - At this stage of his career, Adamek needs a whole team working for him. A coach exists for a fighter, not the other way around.

According to the information passed on by a promoter Andrzej Wasilewski to BOKSER.ORG, Krzysztof Bienias (39-3, 16 KO) will come face-to-face against Kell Brook (20-0, 13 KO) in an eliminator to WBO welterweight belt belonging currently to Manny Pacquiao (50-3-2, 38 KO). The stake of the bout scheduled on February 13 at Wembley Arena in London will be also WBO Inter-Continental welterweight title which holder is the 29-year-old Pole.

Bienias will start his preparations at the beginning of January, among others in Zakopane, Poland. WBO #7 rated Brook does not disregard the #4 rated Pole.

- Bienias has a great record and definitely is a hard rival. He is this type of boxer which I have to defeat if I want to be the world champion. He’s rated higher in the ranking so my possible win will be a next step to approach a fight for a title – said ’86 born "Kid". – Bienias remains unbeaten for five years so he certainly comes here to win. It’s a big challenge for me, however, I intend to keep my streak of my wins by knockout. I want to be teste and proven and this fight will be the excellent occasion. I want to be the world champion at the end of 2010.

Roger Bloodworth, known as a former Andrew Golota’s coach, joined the training staff of Tomasz Adamek (39-1, 27 KO)  who is preparing for the fight against Jason Estrada (16-2, 4 KO) scheduled on February 6 in Newark. Thus, Bloodworth became an assistant of Andrzej Gmitruk who stands in Adamek’s corner for years. The trio is completed by Ralph Mendez responsible for physical strengthening of the Polsih heavyweight.

Recently, Gmitruk announced  that Adamek needs to engage a new trainer constantly watching over his fit in the United States while he is busy promoting professional boxing in Poland. Accordingly, the main coach of “Goral” fully understands the choice. It is worth adding that Bloodworth was recommended by Ziggy Rozalski himself.

- It’s necessary to bring to life a whole staff  around a fighter who presents such a high level as Tomasz Adamek and it’s normal. Even famous Freddie Roach, during coaching Oscar De La Hoya, had some people who helped him in Oscar’s preparation – said Gmitruk interviewed by BOKSER.ORG. The coach will join Adamek team on the January 3.
