Polish heavyweight giant Mariusz Wach (27-1, 15 KOs) turned down an offer to fight Bryant Jennings (17-0, 9 KOs) in an HBO televised fight on January 18th, but another Pole - undefeated Artur Szpilka (16-0, 12 KOs), is ready to step in there for the opportunity. Jennings is scheduled to return in the co-feature spot to Lucian Bute vs. Jean Pascal at the Bell Centre in Montreal.

Szpilka said - "If HBO is looking for a replacement for Jennings, I'm interested in the fight. Such a fight would certainly bring a lot of excitement. Jennings, I am ready to fight you. Fight with me. Or are you afraid of Polish power?"
