Middleweight contender Vito “White Magic” Mielnicki Jr. is set for a triumphant homecoming when he takes on unbeaten Polish-born contender Kamil Gardzielik on Saturday, June 21, at Prudential Center. The 10-round main event will see Mielnicki, a native of Roseland, New Jersey, look to extend his knockout streak at the venue where he made his pro debut in 2019. Both fighters have their eyes on the vacant WBO Global, USWBC, and USBA titles, with the bout streaming live on ESPN+.
Tickets go on sale Tuesday, April 1 at noon ET via Ticketmaster.com.
Mielnicki (20-1-1, 12 KOs) has thrived in the Garden State spotlight, scoring memorable knockouts in his three previous headliners at Prudential Center. The 22-year-old phenom signed with Top Rank in 2024 and solidified his unbeaten streak with three victories last year. Gardzielik (19-0, 4 KOs) enters his first U.S. fight following two wins in 2024 and believes he can spoil Mielnicki’s homecoming under the bright lights of Brick City.

An all-Polish heavyweight showdown serves as the co-main event, with rising star Damian Knyba (15-0, 9 KOs) meeting fellow unbeaten Marcin Siwy (25-0-1, 12 KOs). Knyba, who headlined at Prudential Center earlier this year, hopes to continue his string of stoppages. Siwy’s return to boxing after an MMA stint gives fans a matchup of undefeated sluggers with plenty to prove in front of a passionate Polish-American crowd.
The undercard features an eight-round middleweight tilt between Baltimore’s Lorenzo “Truck” Simpson (15-2, 8 KOs) and William Townsel (8-2, 6 KOs), alongside a stacked lineup of local prospects. East Orange bantamweight Mannie Chance (1-0) hopes to impress in a four-rounder, while Philadelphia’s Daiyaan Butt (20-2, 10 KOs) faces Jersey City’s Mike Lee (11-3, 7 KOs) in an eight-round welterweight clash. Heavyweight Norman Neely (15-1, 10 KOs) returns from a 15-month layoff, and Newark’s own Muadh Abdus-Salaam will make his professional debut.
