Earlier this year, Adamek faced undefeated stablemate Vyacheslav &#8220;Czar&#8221; Glazkov at Sands Casino Hotel in Bethlehem, PA. Czar managed to squeak out the decision after a brutal 12-round war for the IBF North American Heavyweight Title. Prior to the loss to Glazkov, Adamek had won his previous five fights in a row dating back to his fight with Klitschko (Mar. 24, 2012 &#8211; Nagy Aguilera, 10-round unanimous decision victory; Jun. 16, 2012 &#8211; Eddie Chambers, 12-round unanimous decision victory; Sept. 8, 2012 &#8211; Travis Walker, fifth round TKO; Dec. 22, 2012 &#8211; Steve Cunningham, 12-round split decision victory; and Aug. 3, 2013 &#8211; Dominick Guinn ten-round unanimous decision). When asked about the fight Adamek said, &#8220;It is good to be fighting in Poland. This will be the biggest fight in Poland since my fight with Vitali Klitschko. I look forward to satisfying my Polish fans with a knockout of Szpilka.&#8221;<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The young challenger, Szpilka, 25, has only 17 career fights as compared to the 52 professional fights Adamek has on his professional resume. Szpilka is also coming off a tough loss. He suffered a TKO at the hands of Bryant Jennings in the final round of a ten-round fight at Madison Square Garden in New York City, NY on Jan. 25, 2014. This was the first loss of Szpilka&#8217;s young career since making his professional debut on Oct. 18, 2008 against Senol Cente (a four-round unanimous decision win). Twelve of his 16 career victories have come by way of knockout for an impressive 75% knockout-to-win ratio. When asked about the fight, Szpilka said, &#8220;I will surprise a lot of people with my style and really don&#8217;t care about people seeing Adamek as a clear favorite. I learned a lot losing to Bryant Jennings at Madison Square Garden. There will be no distractions this time, I feel stronger and better than ever. Just watch me on November 8. You will not believe your eyes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Main Events CEO Kathy Duva said, &#8220;This is a fantastic heavyweight fight that will be a great event for Poland. When Tomasz fought Andrew Golota and then Vitali Klitschko in Poland, it felt like all of Poland was watching. I&#8217;m sure that will be the case again on November 8th.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Placing the bout for a US telecast is being explored at this time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: large; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">Read: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newzbreaker.com\/2014\/02\/02\/when-the-heavyweight-division-meant-something-to-boxing-a-look-back-at-wba-heavyweight-champion-of-the-world-mike-weaver\/\">When the Heavyweight Division Meant Something to Boxing: A Look Back at WBA Heavyweight Champion of the World Mike Weaver<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The veteran Adamek, 37, returns to fight in his home country from the United States for the first time since he lost the WBC Heavyweight Title match-up with Vitali Klitschko in 2011.
