Maciej Sulęcki (born 2 May 1989) is a professional boxer from Poland. Sulęcki is signed with American adviser Al Haymon.[1] As of October 2017, he is ranked as the seventh-best light middleweight boxer by BoxRec and as tenth by the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board and The Ring. Sulęcki is also ranked as one of the top 10 middleweight contenders by the IBF and the WBO, and as the #7 light middleweight contender by the WBC.[2]

Amateur boxing

Sulecki had a 110-30 record as an amateur, becoming a three-time Polish Junior champion.[3]

Professional boxing career

Sulęcki made his professional debut in June 2010 defeating Adam Gawlik by knockout in the first round in Kielce, Poland. On June 2012, Sulęcki defeated former welterweight world champion Yuriy Nuzhnenko with a unanimous decision.

Over the next three years Striczu put together 15 straight victories before fighting for his first title in November 2013, against Lukasz Wawrzyczek for the vacant Republic of Poland middleweight title. Sulęcki won by unanimous decision. In May 2014, he added the Polish International super middleweight title to that by beating Nicolas Dion of France over ten rounds.

Sulęcki then faced former European champion and WBA middleweight world title challenger Grzegorz Proksa at the Krakow Arena, Poland in November 2014. Sulęcki was victorious in the all-Polish affair stopping Proksa in the seventh. Proksa's unorthodox style gave Sulęcki some trouble early on but as the fight went on, Sulęcki started landing more effective shots and ended the fight with a right-hand counterpunch.[4]

Following that victory, the Pole teamed up with promoter Lou DiBella and manager Al Haymon and made his US debut against Darryl Cunningham at the UIC Pavilion, Chicago in April 2015.[5] Sulęcki again won by knockout, this time in the third round.[6]

Sulęcki then stopped 40-year-old Jose Miguel Berrio, late replacement for Eduardo Tercero, at the Prudential Center. Sulęcki landed a number left hooks under the right elbow of Rodriguez and the referee stopped the fight before the end of the first round.[7][8] Following this victory Sulecki was added as a contender for Sherdog's Top 10 middleweights list.[9]

On 2016, Sulęcki defeated previously unbeaten prospect Hugo Centeno Jr. with a knockout in the final round of a ten-round bout. This was Sulęcki's fifth consecutive knockout after only scoring three stoppages in his first eighteen fights.[10] Sulęcki moved down to light middleweight on 2017. On October, he fought Jack Culcay, backing up the World Boxing Super Series quarter-final match between Krzysztof Włodarczyk and Murat Gassiev. Sulęcki beat Culcay with a unanimous decision (98-92, 97-93, 96-94).
