Middleweight contender Przemysław "The Machine" Majewski (21-2, 13 KOs) is training hard for his return on Friday January 24th at the Resort Casino in Atlantic City - when he faces the very dangerous Curtis Stevens (25-4, 18 KOs) in an NBC Sports televised contest. Majewski plans to use his height and distance to keep Stevens' power at bay. A consistent jab is the likely weapon of choice for Majewski in the contest.

"For me the most important thing is that I give everything of myself in training, and because of that I will come to the ring in a good mental state and I will be prepared for him. Everything is firmly in place with preparing for this fight. I saw Stevens fight and you can see that he has a very strong punch, and I will therefore try to keep my distance so I don't get hit with too many punches. I have a natural advantage over him, I am taller and have a longer each - it would be a sin not to use that," Majewski said.
