KRAKOW, Լեհաստան (Երթ 17, 2016) – Arguably the greatest Polish fighter of all-time, Երկու քաշային կարգերում աշխարհի չեմպիոն Տոմաշ “goral” Ադամեկը, will be in a crossroads fight April 2 vs. աշխարհի նախկին չեմպիոնի հետ Eric “Drummer Boy” Molina, airing on pay per view in North America, live from Tauron Arena in Krakow, Լեհաստան.
The 39-year-old Adamek (50-4, 30 Նոկաուտով) should be inserted into the new heavyweight title mix with an impressive victory over Molina (24-3, 18 Նոկաուտով), who gave World Boxing Council (WBC) չեմպիոն Deontay Wilder a scare last June in the world title fight, in their International Boxing Federation (IBF) Inter-Continental heavyweight showdown. Ադամեկը, սակայն, could possibly hang up his gloves for good if upset-minded Molina ruins the expected Polish celebration.
“I don’t want to պարզապես հաղթանակ,” Adamek said. “Along with my trainer, Roger Bloodworth, we want my fans to see a fighter who is in the ring to battle, not take a paycheck. My career is ending; no point of saving myself for the future. I will be in the ring to give people all I have. It’s a promise.”
