By Dan Ambrose: Former two division world champion Tomasz Adamek (48-2, 29 KO’s) will be facing Tony Grano (20-3-1, 16 KO’s) on August 3rd in a scheduled 10 round bout at the Mohegan Sun Casino, in Uncasville, Connecticut. Adamek, #10 WBC, #11 IBF, saw his heavyweight ranking drop recently after he chose not to fight unbeaten Kubrat Pulev in an IBF heavyweight eliminator bout for a shot against IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko.
Adamek didn’t see the Pulev fight as a good financial move for him, as he felt he had bigger money fights to take. However, it’s very difficult to see a fight between Adamek and Grano as being a big money fight.
