The details connected with the organization of the fight between Tomasz Adamek (41-1, 27 KO) and Michael Grant (46-3, 34 KO), have been accepted by both heavyweights. The contract is already being prepared and waits for signatures. The battle will take place on August 21 in Newark, as Adamek said to the journalists of BoxingScene.com/Bokser.org. The heavyweight bout will be televised on pay-per-view.

Why did Team Adamek choose Grant? There are two reasons. The first reason is connected with financial and organizational issues. It turned out that none of top American televsiion networks wanted to broadcast a possible fight against Roy Jones Jr. The second candidate, Evander Holyfield, demanded $400,000 dollars for the fight. Obviously, the sum of money would not be adequate based on the 47-year-old boxer's recent track record.

The second reason connected to the selection of Grant, was the fact that Adamek has already been thinking about taking a fight against one of Klitschko brothers. A clash with the tall and strong Grant will be an excellent test for the Pole before facing Vitali or Wladimir.

Presently, Adamek is resting after the hard bout against Chris Arreola but it's probable that the 33-year-old Pole will have to come back to a serious training camp very soon. The best option for Adamek's fight location appears to be the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, where thousands of loud Polish supporters come out for his fights.
