Andrzej Fonfara

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.
