My Take

Andrzej Fonfara earns my respect the hard way. A big, rangy light heavyweight out of Radom, Poland, he left home and built his career out of Chicago, trading punches at world level for over a decade. He held the IBO title in 2012-13 and twice challenged for the WBC belt, even chasing The Ring crown. The losses don't dim him for me; what matters is a fighter willing to step up against the best again and again. Twelve years in the hardest sport there is, fought far from where he started. That's the kind of stubborn courage I admire in boxing.

Overview

Andrzej Fonfara (born 4 November 1987) is a Polish former professional boxer who competed from 2006 to 2018 and held the IBO light heavyweight title from 2012 to 2013. He also challenged twice in his career for the WBC light heavyweight title, and once for The Ring light heavyweight belt. He was based in Chicago for most of his career.
