December 6, 2010, North Bergen, NJ - Tomasz Adamek (42-1, 27KO's) and Vinny Maddalone (33-6, 24KO's) attended the final press conference before their upcoming heavyweight title fight, which will take place this Thursday at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. Adamek's IBF International Heavyweight and NABO Heavyweight Titles will be on the line for this "Brick City Boxing Series" show.
Here are some quotes from the press conference:
Kathy Duva, Main Events CEO, Adamek's Promoter:
"It's fitting that we have this fight on a Thursday night. We started out at Prudential Center on a Thursday two years ago with what many people called the fight of the year, Adamek - Cunningham."
"I know there's not going to be a person watching this fight that will be disappointed. These are two fighters with great heart and determination." | By Jolene Mizzone on 10/14/2010 12:00 AM
| Kathy Duva: "Every time Tomasz Adamek steps into the ring at Prudential Center we have an amazing time. It's a giant party. It starts a few hours before the fight and continues until the last punch is thrown, literally!" She added, "The other night I was at the Jets game and everyone was crowded in close quarters waiting for the rain to stop, having a great time and I said, 'My God this looks just like an Adamek fight, except here everyone's in green and white.' Everyone who comes to see an Adamek fight is going to have the time of their life." |

Although he holds the title of IBF World Cruiserweight Champion, Tomasz Adamek (37-1, 25 KO’s) considers his most important title to be “Dad”. In Polish the word for Dad is Tatus`. Currently in training for his July 11th Cruiserweight title defense against Bobby Gunn (21-3-1, 18 KO’s**) at Prudential Center Newark, Adamek never loses sight of what is truly important to him. “Everything I do, I do for my children”, says Adamek. This Sunday, after attending church with his family, Adamek will celebrate Father’s Day with a home cooked meal.
