Adding to the Polish frenzy that whips up the Prudential Center whenever Adamek fights in house will be three other matches that feature Polish boxers. In an 8 round fight that Main Events matchmaker, Russell Peltz deems a “very interesting and challenging match”, Super Middleweight, Piotr Wilczweski, of Roztocznik, Poland (22-0, (7 KO’s) will battle Curtis Stevens, of Brooklyn, NY, 20-2, (14 KO’s). Stevens is ranked #15 by the WBO. This may well be Wilczweski’s toughest challenge to date.

Undefeated, Polish patriot, Mateusz Masternak of Wroclaw Poland, 13-0, (8KO’s) will take part in an 8 round Cruiserweight match against Brooklyn resident, Naser Mohamed Aly, 4-3, (2 KO’s).

Ran Nakash a cruiserweight with a current record of 18-0, (14 KO’s) hails from Haifa, Israel, and will take on William Bailey of Chesapeake, VA 10-16-2, (5 KO’s).
