The full card is set for “Winter Warfare,” which takes place this Saturday, February 1 at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
The main event will pit unbeaten heavyweight prospect Damian Knyba (14-0, 8 KOs) against Andrzej Wawrzyk (34-4, 20 KOs) in a ten-round showdown of Polish heavyweight boxers. Knyba of Wudzyn, Poland is coming off a Knockout of the Year contender performance in November when he blasted out Richard Lartey Harrison in three rounds, while Wawrzyk of Warsaw, Poland is the most experienced opponent Knyba has faced, having battled current WBA heavyweight champion Kubrat Pulev, plus former contenders Danny Williams and Frans Botha.
In the co-main event, Fiodor Czerkaszyn (25-1, 15 KOs) will face Patrick Allotey (44-7, 34 KOs) in an eight-round middleweight fight. The 29-year-old Czerkaszyn of Warsaw, Poland is ranked in the top 15 by the IBF, WBC and WBO, and is looking for his fourth straight victory. Allotey, 34, of Accra, Ghana is a former world title challenger who has fought some of the best boxers in his weight class, including Jaime Munguia, Serhii Bohachuk and Kanat Islam. The rest of the main card, which will air live on TVP Sport in Poland, will include an eight-round women’s bantamweight bout between former two-division world champion Miyo Yoshida (17-5) against Beata Dudek (5-5, 4 KOs).
