the last fight was in May, when Łukasz Różański knocked him out. The 32-year-old then suffered an ankle injury and torn a ligament in his knee. Although several months have passed since then, the fighter still has trouble walking. On Wednesday, he will undergo an operation to remove the meniscus, which protrudes slightly and irritates the ligament. – It sounds scary, but it’s not too complicated. Michał Materla had such a procedure two weeks before the fight with Damian Janikowski, and not only did he perform at the gala, but he also won. If all goes well, I will come back to the classroom with the new year. I have to go back because I’m turned into a fat man -.
Szpilka will return to training after the new year, but a question arises: what will he train? – Two months ago I told you that I would come back if I felt the hunger I had right after I left prison again. It was the hunger of the kid who has nothing but wants to conquer the whole world. I don’t feel it now, so you won’t hear any declaration from me. We’ll talk in January. Maybe then it will spark – said Szpilka, who is being tempted by the MMA federation.
KSW has been talking loudly about the willingness to contract a boxer for several years. Especially that Szpilka’s contract with Andrzej Wasilewski, a boxing promoter, has expired. Apart from KSW, Szpilka is the target of “freak” organizations: FAME MMA or HIGH League. There, too, he could earn a lot of money. Wasilewski commented on his situation in an interview with the boxer.org portal.
– Unfortunately, I believe that it will not happen in order to look for someone from the first, second or third boxing league for Artur Szpilka or so that he could win in MMA without gloves, or in a group with someone weaker. Sorry, Arthur was winning the rounds with Deontay Wilder -.
Szpilka fought for the world championship
Many experts believe that Szpilka had the best moment of his career in 2016, when he stood up to Deontay Wilder in style. The American won, but the Pole fought bravely for nine rounds. Since then, Szpilka has had defeats with Adam Kownacki, Dereck Chisora and Różański, who is now one step away from fighting for the belt. He has five of them in total. The question is: should he still box?
Wasilewski bets on Różański
What’s up with Wasilewski? The promoter has now started helping Łukasz Różański in his career, whom he recently took to Mexico for the convention of the WBC federation. – It was great to be able to see the legends of boxing with my own eyes, shake hands or take a photo of myself, which I managed to do with Floyd and Chavez, among others. I also met, among others Sugar Ray Leonard or Larry Holmes. It was also very nice to see how much recognition Andrzej Wasilewski enjoys in the boxing community. He even got a new nickname “Grande Promotore”. (…) If everything goes well, in 2022 I will fight for the world champion’s belt – says 35-year-old Różański (14-0). .
