Heavyweight Contender Mariusz Wach Winds Down Camp
for Saturday's Oliver McCall Challenge at Mohegan Sun
(November 2nd) - As training camp winds down for the undefeated WBC International heavyweight champion Mariusz Wach, the true scope of his growth as a fighter becomes clearer. Wach, 25-0 (13 KO), of North Bergen, N.J., by way of Krakow, Poland, will face former world heavyweight champion Oliver McCall (56-11, 37 KO) this Saturday, November 5 at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., the site of his Knockout of the Year performance against Kevin McBride in July.
The show, entitled "November Reign," will be promoted by North Bergen-based Global Boxing Promotions.
Wach, who stands an imposing 6'7" and weighs 250 pounds, has undergone an impressive transformation since relocating to North Bergen and linking up with highly-regarded trainer Juan De Leon and his brother Carlos, a former four-time cruiserweight world champion. Together, Wach and the De Leon brothers worked on improving the agile big man's speed, power and - most importantly - his confidence.
"I can really see how much his confidence has grown since he knocked out McBride," said De Leon, who is working with Wach for the second fight together. "We built a real foundation of his strength and footwork and head movement. He works real hard and his main assets are that he's really smart and doesn't complain when he trains."
Though Wach at 31 is 15 years younger than his opponent McCall, Wach will be facing his most difficult assignment to date as a professional. In his younger days, the Chicago, Ill., native McCall was a sparring partner for Mike Tyson and won the heavyweight championship in 1994 with a knockout of Lennox Lewis in two rounds. McCall defended the title once with a win over another legend in Larry Holmes before dropping the belt in a decision loss to Frank Bruno.
In recent years, McCall has proven he is still a dangerous challenger, having defeated the likes of Damian Wills (then 30-2), former world title challenger Fres Oquendo and Lance Whitaker.
"Oliver McCall is a real experienced fighter, I've seen him fight many times, and one thing that he has is a powerful punch," said De Leon. "One of the challenges that we face is that Oliver McCall has never been knocked down or knocked out. I told Wach that the last thing that McCall will lose is his power. McCall has that street sense, that he doesn't care to fight and give it all. He knows that he's 46 and has nothing to lose."
Still Wach is unfazed, and sees this as another opportunity to expand his resume' as a rising heavyweight force.
"Oliver McCall has made history, but this is the present and it's my time," said Wach. "He will look good on my record.
"I still have time to grow and improve as a fighter. I have to focus on improving every day as a fighter. I'm hoping to be in the major fights by the end of next year. I'm getting better while the top guys are getting older."
"November Reign" is on course to be the Mohegan Sun's first boxing sellout in nearly ten years, with full buses coming from around the Tri-state to usher in fans to see unbeaten NABF middleweight champ Patrick Majewski (17-0, 11 KO) of Atlantic City, N.J., by way of Radom, Poland against Jose Miguel Torres (22-5, 19 KO) for the vacant NABO middleweight title.
Other fighters slated for the show include heavyweight knockout artist Artur "Szpila" Szpilka (8-0, 6 KO) of Wieliczka, Poland and featherweight prospect Kamil Laszczyk (4-0, 3 KO) of North Bergen, N.J., by way of Wroclaw, Poland, plus several local New England fighters in action.

Patrick Majewski to Face New and Perhaps More Dangerous
Opponent Jose Miguel Torres on November 5th at Mohegan Sun
(October 29th) - Undefeated NABO middleweight champion Patrick "The Machine" Majewski, who was originally set to face Dionisio Miranda in his co-featured bout on Global Boxing Promotions' "November Reign" on Saturday, November 5 at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., will now face another Colombian knockout artist in Jose Miguel Torres after Miranda was denied entry to the United States due to visa issues.
The bout, which will support the WBC International heavyweight title match between Mariusz "The Viking" Wach (25-0, 13 KO) of North Bergen, N.J., by way of Krakow, Poland and former world heavyweight champ Oliver McCall (56-11, 37 KO), may wind up as a more dangerous proposition than the original booking.
Majewski, 17-0 (11 KO), of Atlantic City, N.J., by way of Radom, Poland has been hard at work with trainer Bill Johnson to prepare for his title defense, which will also be contested for the vacant NABF middleweight title. With a win, Majewski hopes to jump further in the middleweight rankings with the World Boxing Organization (WBO) and enter into the title picture with the International Boxing Federation (IBF).
Torres, 22-5 (19 KO), of Magangue, Colombia, has a higher knockout ratio than Majewski's original opponent (70% for Torres, compared to Miranda's 60%), and is already in shape, having defeated Jose Antonio Rodriguez by a unanimous decision just a month ago.
"We are very pleased that we were able to secure such a quality opponent on short notice," said Mariusz Kolodziej, CEO of Global Boxing Promotions. "Majewski is ready for a step-up fight, and he wants to challenge the best. Fights like this will put him on the short-list of top middleweight contenders."

Majewski's opponent Miranda, 21-7-2 (18 KO), of Baranquilla, Colombia is no slouch, having defeated top-rated middleweight contenders Sebastien Demers and Lajuan Simon in recent years, while giving highly-regarded contender Peter Quillin his toughest fight to date.
"Dionisio Miranda is a tough opponent, but this is the right fight for me now," said Majewski, who is ranked number 7 in the world by the World Boxing Organization. "Every fight is getting tougher, but I'm getting better. I just want to keep getting better. This is only the road to get a good fan base; performing well in big fights under pressure."
The main event will pit undefeated WBC International heavyweight champion Mariusz Wach (25-0, 13 KO) of North Bergen, N.J., by way of Krakow, Poland against former world heavyweight champ Oliver McCall (56-11, 37 KO) of Chicago, Ill.

WBC International Heavyweight Champ Mariusz Wach
to Face Oliver McCall on November 5th at Mohegan Sun! 
(October 13th) - Four of Poland's rising boxing stars will be in action on November 5 when undefeated boxers Mariusz Wach, Patrick Majewski, Artur Szpilka and Kamil Laszczyk take over the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.
The show, promoted by Jimmy Burchfield's Classic Entertainment and Sports and Global Boxing, will mark the first time that all four Polish fighters appear on the same card.
Wach, 25-0 (13 KO), of North Bergen, N.J. by way of Krakow, Poland will be facing his toughest test to date in McCall (56-11, 37 KO) of Chicago, Ill. In 1994, McCall knocked out heavyweight legend Lennox Lewis with a single overhand right to become the heavyweight champion of the world, and then defeated another legend in Larry Holmes in a title defense.
McCall has defeated five former or future heavyweight champions in his career and has shown he is still a force in the heavyweight division by beating contenders Fres Oquendo and Franklin Lawrence in his last five fights. In his most recent bout, McCall defeated 30-2 (23 KO) contender Damian Wills.
Wach, who met Lennox Lewis when the living legend was recently in Poland, is coming off his biggest win to date when he knocked out Mike Tyson-conqueror Kevin McBride in four rounds in July. Wach is the ninth ranked contender with the WBC and is looking to enhance his credentials as a future heavyweight champion of the world.
The WBO NABO middleweight champ Majewski of Atlantic City, N.J. by way of Radom, Poland will look to annex the NABF middleweight title when he faces his toughest test to date against Colombian KO artist Dionisio Miranda. Majewski, 16-0 (11 KO), is coming off a career best performance in June when he shut out Marcus Upshaw. Miranda, 21-7-2 (18 KO), has fought some of the best in the world, including former champion Roman Karmazin and Peter Quillin.
Heavyweight prospect Artur Szpilka of Wieliczka, Poland joined Wach on the most recent card at Mohegan Sun, scoring a first round knockout against David Williams. The 7-0 (5 KO) Szpilka of Wieliczka, Poland is promoted by Andrew Wasilewski from 12Rounds KnockOut Promotions and is a dangerous southpaw with one punch power in both hands. His opponent will be announced shortly.
Laszczyk, 20, of North Bergen, N.J. by way of Wroclaw, Poland will also be in action in a four-round featherweight assignment. Laszczyk is currently 4-0 (3 KO) and is coming off a decision victory over Terrance Roy earlier this month.
More bouts will be announced soon.

Unbeaten Heavyweight Mariusz Wach
Now Training with Juan De Leon
(April 27th) - Undefeated WBC Baltic Heavyweight champ Mariusz Wach of North Bergen, NJ by way of Krakow, Poland has teamed up with top-notch trainer Juan De Leon in his quest to become the heavyweight champ of the world.
The 6'8", 250 pound big man with a record of 24-0 (12 KO) has begun training with the Buffalo, NY resident DeLeon out of Global Boxing Gym in North Bergen, who guided undefeated heavyweight boxer Joe Mesi through the course of his career.
The 31-year-old Wach, who is promoted by Global Boxing Promotions and Jimmy Burchfield's Classic Entertainment & Sports, worked with former heavyweight champion Michael Moorer for his most recent performance but the qualified Moorer stepped down due to scheduling conflicts.
De Leon, who is a native of San Juan, Puerto Rico, learned the sport of boxing underneath his older brother Carlos De Leon, who was a four-time cruiserweight champion of the world and fought Evander Holyfield, Leon Spinks and Yaqui Lopez.
"I've only been with him for a few days, but I really like what I see," said De Leon, who also works with a slew of rising prospects. "I believe Wach has talent and good footwork. There's a lot of things we have to put together to make him the perfect fighter."
Wach and De Leon will have their first fight together on June 18 in Atlantic City at a location to be decided.
Joining De Leon as part of Team Wach will be his brother Carlos De Leon, as well as sports and medicine doctor Ramon Negron, and running coach Cruz "Pensa" Rodriguez, who worked with legendary champion Felix "Tito" Trinidad.
[The team] can't do everything, but we can do something. We're gonna put him in the best shape of his life. It's on him now to fight. But he's a good listener and he learns fast and that will take him far."
