By Jake Donovan - In a year where fighters would rather ride the pine in search of big fights that may never come, Tomasz Adamek is a breath of fresh air.
The logic behind passing on less glamorous fights is that if said fighter decides to go that route, they run the risk of not being available should a bigger opportunity suddenly present itself.
What’s wrong with such a way of thinking is that those types of opportunities don’t always come at a fighter’s convenience, thus running the risk of not being properly trained for what should be the biggest night of your career.
The best way to guard against being ill-prepared is to simply remain active. Such is a lesson not lost on Adamek (41-1, 27KO), who refuses to allow the industry’s power structure to dictate who and when he should and can fight.
Case in point – the former lineal cruiserweight king and light heavyweight titlist appears this weekend, his fourth fight in span of less than ten months.
Sure, his choice of opponent for this weekend has been mocked, as he squares off against faded former title challenger Michael Grant at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey (Saturday, 9PM ET, Integrated Sports PPV). [Click Here To Read More]
