Tomasz Adamek Vs Michael Grant

Saturday Night 9PM ET/6PM PT on PPV
At the Prudential Center, Newark, New Jersey, United States.
The clash which is being dubbed as “The Big Challenge”.
On the one side you have 6ft 7in - 38 year old Michael Grant (won 46 - lost 3)
On the other side you have the former IBF cruiserweight champion, former WBC world light heavyweight champion and the former IBF and IBO cruiserweight champion of the world, Tomasz Adamek (won 41 - lost 1).
On the line Adamek’s IBF International and WBO NABO heavyweight titles.
At the moment Grant is on a winning run having won his last 8 fights – five inside the distance and three by unanimous decision. Grant is taking this fight very seriously, has moved to Las Vegas for his fight preparation and brought in top trainer Eddie Mustafa Muhammad. Grant is definitely putting in a serious effort and is focused on increasing his chances in the ring.

Adamek is however the huge favorite. The former light-heavy and cruiserweight champion has been looking good as a heavyweight, stopping Andrew Golota and outscoring a determined Jason Estrada and the more dangerous Chris Arreola.
Adamek will go into the ring to prove a point, that size does not really matter and that it would be possible for him to take on one of the Klitschko brothers.
To do this Adamek must score a decisive win over Grant, while showing respect to Grant’s physical advantage he will not take unnecessary risks and will most probably try to out box him over the 12 rounds, while seeking the opening & opportunity to retire him earlier.
