In the co-main event, Brooklyn’s Adam Kownacki (19-0, 15 KOs) continued his climb up the heavyweight rankings by earning a second-round TKO victory over former title challenger Gerald Washington (19-3-1, 12 KOs). "I trained hard for this fight,” said Kownacki. “I prepared for 10 hard rounds, but I'm glad I got it done and ended it as fast as I did. We stuck with the game plan. I'm a pressure fighter. I worked on sitting down on my punches and I proved that I have great power when I do that.” The Polish-born fighter put on an impressive performance in front of a large crowd of Polish diehards. Kownacki got the action started early, landing a series of big punches that had Washington in trouble on the ropes. Kownacki landed 46 punches in total in the round, to just 12 from Washington. Kownacki continued to come forward in round, hitting Washington with a straight right hand that forced him to hold onto the ropes, and another straight right that sent Washington to the canvas.
