Krzysztof Głowacki (born 31 July 1986) is a Polish professional boxer who held the WBO junior-heavyweight title from 2015 to 2016.[1]

Amateur career

Born in Walcz, north west Poland,[2] Krzysztof Głowacki fought 125 amateur fights (103 Wins, 19 Losses and 3 Draws). He became Polish Junior Champion in 2003, 2004 and 2005. In 2007, he finished as runner-up in the Polish Senior Championships in the Super heavyweight category. The following year, he finished as a bronze medalist.

Professional career

He made his debut in 2008, defeating Mariusz Radziszewski by points decision. In 2009, Głowacki won vacant Baltic Boxing Union International title, defeating Łukasz Rusiewicz by points decision.

On August 18, 2012, he won the vacant WBO Inter-Continental junior-heavyweight title, defeating Felipe Romero by sixth-round technical knockout.

On January 31, 2015, Głowacki won WBO European junior-heavyweight title by unanimous decision (118-110, 118-110 and 120-108) against Nuri Seferi.

On August 14, 2015, he won the WBO junior-heavyweight title, defeating Marco Huck by eleventh-round knockout. Glowacki twice dropped Marco Huck in a knockout that foiled Huck’s attempt at a record 14th defense in the 200-pound division at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.[3] Like Huck, it was Glowacki's first fight outside of Europe.[4] Many consider this as the 2015 fight of the year.

On April 16, 2016, he defended the WBO junior-heavyweight title by unanimous decision (116-108, 115-109, 115-109) against Steve Cunningham. Steve Cunningham was down twice at the second round and once in tenth and twelfth.
