Nicknamed "Babyface," Kownacki was born in Poland, moved to the United States with his family when he was seven, won the New York Golden Gloves twice, and is currently rated in the top 10 by the World Boxing Council (WBC) and No. 13 by the International Boxing Federation (IBF).

He made the headlines last summer when he defeated former world title challenger and fellow Pole, Artur Szpilka, stopping him in the fourth round.

Will the undefeated Kownacki take the next step towards becoming the first Polish-American heavyweight champion?

Danuta Isler spoke to sports promotor Lou Di Bella to find out more.
