Heavyweight contender Tomasz Adamek (41-1, 27 KO) continues to prepare himself for the bout with Michael Grant (46-3, 34 KO) at the Rocky Marciano Gym in Jersey City. After getting in some sparring work with Faruq Saleem (38-1, 32 KO), the Polish heavyweight invited Malik Scott (32-0, 11 KO) to his training camp. The head coach of Team Adamek is the experienced Roger Bloodworth.
- Roger Bloodworth is very contented because the pace of separated sparring rounds is high and shows really good preparation of my body - Adamek said. - Saleem admits that watching me on TV and seeing me live in the ring are two different things. He meant my quick blows, good movement and making him miss. He claims that he doesn't know from which side he should expect danger.
Adamek's sparring sessions started three weeks ago. Tall sparring partners for the Pole have to imitate the next opponent's style. 30-year-old Scott, undefeated as a professional, had also a successful amateur career during which he managed to defeat DaVarryl Williamson and Jason Estrada. The career finished with an impressive record 70-3.
