They asked to be USA, it's up to them.

[Rob3_142]

He's Polish fighting out of New York.

[claudevsq]

He's got US citizenship, and if he asks us to be listed as "American" instead of "Polish", that's his choice, as John already stated...

[sandis]

He has USA citizenship and represented USA in amateur ranks

THERE'S NOTHING LIKE BEING ASHAMED OF YOUR HOMELAND. THEY CAN'T STAND UP AND BE PROUD OF WHERE THEY ARE FROM. IT'S THE WAY OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER I GUESS.
YOU SEE THIS A LOT IN PROFESSIONAL BOXING YET THRU BOXING IS HOW THEY GOT VISAS AND PERMITS TO FIGHT PROFESSIONALLY IN OTHER COUNTRIES BUT LATER DUMP THEIR HOMELAND. LOL

Yes abc, you need a typing lesson. Perhaps one of your kids. Young people are much better at this stuff.

On your content, Adam should be proud of what he has accomplished, not where he's from. If you're proud of things you didn't earn, you didn't earn anything.

That`s very interesting becouse he always speak about that he is very proud to be Pole, he speaks very good Polish, wears Polish national clothes, even in the ring his trousers, shoes are also in Polish white-red. I`m very surprised...

There are far more American HWs in the database (370 active vs just 25 active Poles) and he's based out of the USA, so perhaps his team want him ranked as an American so his name and details are more visible, particularly to the management of fighters relatively nearby.

As for being 'ashamed', Kownacki moved with his family to the US as a young kid. Him being an American citizen and fighting out of the US hardly suggest that he's ashamed of his Polish background.

He is associated with Polish, he is a proud Polish

[John]

This is a non issue, it's up to him what he wants to be listed as.

[gilgamesh]

Frankly I think the fact that there are some posters criticizing him for wanting to be listed as a citizen of the USA instead of Poland is ridiculous...I mean...he lives in America. He's obviously proud of his Polish heritage and has many Polish fans that are proud to cheer for him. What's the problem?

If you lived somewhere for most of your life from childhood would you not say you were from there?

Yawn!
