Airing on PolSat Sport at 4pm local time in Jastrzębie-Zdrój, with the gala penciled in for a 2-hour time slot until 6pm (10am until noon EST). Both had lengthy amateur campaigns of varying success (Jonak going 153-15, supposedly with a majority of his wins coming by stoppage which in the amateurs is a rarity, especially since he fought in the headgear era, but never distinguishing himself in any international tourneys beyond a bronze in the junior Euros at 67kg; the Uzbek now based in Russia was a 2-time Olympian and took both silver and bronze in the world championships) and both have been pros for over a decade and held onto their zeros - with both remaining nearly altogether unblemished save for a draw on each of their records - but neither has really fought anybody with a pulse, let alone the caliber of each other to prove themselves until now.

Their draws, btw, came against Mariusz Cendrowski & Timur Nergadze, respectively - arguably each man's biggest step up to date before tomorrow.
