Joey “Polish Thuder” Dawejko Joins The Empire…!!!
Every empire needs strong leaders for today, but it must also prepare its future emperors of tomorrow.
In 2010, Heavyweight Champions Shannon Briggs and Hasim Rahman, as well as soon-to-be middleweight king “Mean” Joe Greene sit atop boxing’s new promotional powerhouse The Empire Sports and Entertainment as its marquee warriors.
But with an eye to future years, The Empire proudly announces the signing of undefeated heavyweight punisher Joey “Polish Thunder” Dawejko to a promotional contract.
Since enjoying a stellar amateur career that included winning the 2008 Junior World Championships at super heavyweight, the red-hot, 19-year-old Philadelphian has already notched two impressive wins as a professional (2-0, 1 KO). “Joey is a future heavyweight champion of the world and we’re extremely proud to have signed him to a promotional agreement,” said Empire Founder and CEO, Greg Cohen. “He’s another in a long line of proud Polish-American heavyweights with an all-action style that fans will surely fall in love with.”
The Empire affords its future emperors the finest training and guidance. Brian McGinley serves as trainer, while former undisputed and two-time heavyweight champion Rahman serves as co-manager (along with Damian Klinger). Rahman also spars frequently with Dawejko. Briggs and Dawejko will be sparring in the near future.
“Philadelphia is known as a city that produces some of the most exciting fighters in the world and Joey fits in perfectly with that reputation,” continues Cohen. “He never stops bringing ‘The Thunder’.”
In his most recent ring appearance, Dawejko needed just 47 seconds to destroy previously unbeaten Ricardo Johnson in front of his hometown fans at the legendary Blue Horizon in Philadelphia.
