Adamek Takes Pre-Klitschko Warmup With McBride
Don't forget McBride retired Mike Tyson. But, that was five and half years ago, and he has lost four of his last five. (Hogan Photos)It's official, Adamek-McBride will take place at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. Rumors were flying that, Tomasz Adamek, Jersey City, NJ, 43-1, 28KO's, would be fighting in Poland this April. Kathy Duva, Adamek's promoter and Main Events CEO, confirmed that the Polish boxing star will instead return to “The Rock” on April 23rd to take on Irish born, Kevin McBride, Brockton, Massachusetts, 35-8-1, 29 KO's.
“There were a lot of things taken into consideration when choosing this fight. Overall, though, Tomasz was just more comfortable staying at home for this fight,” Kathy Duva, CEO Main Events and Adamek's promoter said. “We'll now focus on McBride, and then focus all of our efforts into the big one in September,” said Duva. “I think that his fans at Prudential Center will give Tomasz a great sendoff to Poland in this fight, and I wouldn't be surprised to see some of them in Poland in September.”
Most famous for his sixth-round knockout victory over Mike Tyson in '05, McBride will be the largest man that Adamek has ever fought. Adamek will be happy to give his “hometown” fans an opportunity to watch him fight before his scheduled September Klitschko fight.
