Club name:

Concordia Knurow [Poland]

Coach:

Ireneusz Przywara [club]; Valeriy Kornilov [national]

Start:

He began boxing at age 14. (Instagram profile, 17 Apr 2021; sport.onet.pl, 25 Dec 2020)

Reason:

"It started with my brother Dawid. First, he sent me to the gym to try kickboxing. I trained in that discipline for about a year-and-a-half. Then coach [Ireneusz] Przywara came to our club. He thought that I had a knack for boxing and advised me to try it. We talked about it for a long time with my family and I decided that boxing was my way." (kierunektokio.pl, 29 May 2020)

Ambition:

To win a medal at the Olympic Games. (sport.onet.pl, 25 Dec 2020)

Philosophy:

"At the Olympic boxing tournament, you never know whom you will face. There are boxers with different styles and you have to approach each one differently. With some you have to box quickly from the start, while others box worse at the end of a round. This requires some versatility and adaptability to different conditions."

Olympic qualifying results
He secured a spot for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo through his performance at the 2021 European Olympic Qualification Tournament in Villebon-sur-Yvette, France. (sport.interia.pl, 16 Jun 2021)

General
TURNING PRO
He has considered becoming a professional boxer after he competes at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. "I am not putting any pressure on myself in this matter. My dream is to turn professional with some achievements under my belt. I don't want to be the next guy who is easy for everyone to beat. Having medals and titles, I could count on different treatment from a promoter, which would then help to better build my professional career. I want my name to mean something by the time I turn professional." (kierunektokio.pl, 29 May 2020)
