Polish Heavyweight Kamil Mroczkowski Defeats Daniel Dubois in 2015
Kamil Mroczkowski marked a notable moment in boxing history by defeating British heavyweight Daniel Dubois during an amateur match in November 2015. This encounter, held in Poland, ended controversially when the referee disqualified Dubois for what was determined to be excessive wrestling.
The aftermath of the match added further drama, as Dubois chose not to shake Mroczkowski’s hand post-fight. Mroczkowski extended his hand, only to be met with Dubois walking away without acknowledgment. Reflecting on the bout, Mroczkowski expressed confidence in his performance, stating, “I think I would’ve won,” to Express Sport. He criticized Dubois’s refusal to engage, calling it disrespectful.
Despite this significant victory, Mroczkowski’s professional career was brief. He competed in only two professional bouts, both of which he won—one by technical knockout and the other by unanimous decision. His last fight took place in March 2022, and he has not returned to the ring since.
In contrast, Dubois has built a formidable professional record of 22 wins and 2 losses, with an impressive 21 of those victories coming by knockout. He currently holds the IBF heavyweight title and is set to defend it against Ukrainian champion Oleksandr Usyk this Saturday at Wembley Stadium. This matchup is highly anticipated, as it represents a rematch following their controversial first fight.
In their initial bout, Dubois suffered a setback when he landed a significant blow on Usyk in the fifth round. The referee ruled it a low blow, allowing Usyk the time to recover. Ultimately, Usyk turned the tide of the fight, stopping Dubois in the ninth round to retain his IBF, IBO, and WBO titles.
As Dubois prepares for this pivotal rematch, he seeks to avenge his earlier loss and secure his place in heavyweight boxing history. A victory would hand Usyk his first professional defeat, making the stakes even higher for both fighters. The boxing world will be watching closely as this thrilling encounter unfolds.
