As the summer heats up, so does the boxing scene in Chicago featuring a unique Polish trio aiming to captivate the American audience. Michał Olaś (13-0, 12 KOs), Andrzej Wawrzyk (33-2, 19 KOs), and Kamil Bodzioch (6-2-1, 2 KOs) will step into the ring in an event organized by Hitz Boxing group in collaboration with Andrzej Fonfara’s group.
The undefeated Michał Olaś, known for his prowess and exceptional knockout ratio, will square off against Tommy Washington Jr (7-12-1, 2 KOs). Olaś comes into the bout on a high note, following a technical knockout victory over Antonio Brown in the very same arena just two months prior. Olaś’ swift punches and strategic play make him a worthy opponent to keep an eye on.
However, the evening’s highlight may well be the domestic duel between Andrzej Wawrzyk and Kamil Bodzioch. Wawrzyk, dubbed the “Phoenix”, is on a quest for redemption after a six-year hiatus from the sport due to a doping scandal in 2016. His return in 2022 was far from triumphant, succumbing to an unexpected knockout loss against Michał Bołoz, a fighter he would have easily bested in his heyday.
His opponent, Bodzioch, also steps into the ring after a year and a half of inactivity. With his recent record plagued by two losses and a draw, he's a fighter enshrouded in uncertainty. This clash may not be one for the purists, but the unpredictability that surrounds both fighters could turn this bout into a surprisingly engaging affair.
