Polish heavyweight Artur Szpilka (18-1, 13 KO) will continue his campaign in the United States, as an Al Haymon managed fighter, when he faces Manuel Quezada (29-9, 18 KO) on June 12th at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago. The card is a Premier Boxing Champions event, with WBA 'regular' junior middleweight champion Erislandy Lara defending his belt against Delvin Rodriguez.
Last month, Szpilka knocked out Ty Cobb in two rounds at the same venue.
Szpilka, who last year got a career defining win over countryman Tomasz Adamek, is now being trained by experienced coach Ronnie Shields.
