Kownacki, who was born in Poland and moved to the United States with his family when he was seven, will look to thrill his local fan base when he steps into the ring against former title challenger Chris Arreola on August 3 at Barclays Center in the New York borough of Brooklyn.
With a fight record of 19-0, Kownacki is a top rising challenger who will look to continue his ascent up the rankings with a win over the veteran Arreola.
This will be Kownacki's ninth fight at Barclays Center, but his first as the headlining attraction.
Radio Poland’s Danuta Isler spoke to the boxer earlier this week in New York.
