Adamek (45-2, 28KO) is coming off of a hard-fought 10-round win over Nagy Aguilera last March in their “Fight Night”-televised co-feature bout in Brooklyn. The fight was his first since a knockout loss to Vitali Klitschko last September in a failed bid to become the first fighter in boxing history to capture world titles at light heavyweight, cruiserweight and heavyweight.
Chambers (36-2, 18KO) managed a career-best victory on the road against Alexander Dimitrenko in July ’09, but has endured a series of tough breaks ever since. His own title challenge produced disastrous results as he was uncompetitive over the course of 11-plus largely uneventful rounds before getting drilled and knocked out with 15 seconds to go in the fight.
