World Boxing Super Series action comes to the east coast as the cruiserweight quarter-final showdown between IBF champion Murat "Iron" Gassiev (24-0, 17 KOs) and former world champion Krzysztof Wlodarczyk (53-3-1, 37 KOs) is set for Saturday, October 21 at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.

Promoted by Ringstar Sports in association with World Boxing Super Series, tickets for the live event are on sale now and are available at Ticketmaster.com. Tickets will also be available to purchase at the Prudential Center box office beginning Monday, September 11 at 11 a.m.

"It's a great pleasure to promote this exciting World Boxing Super Series matchup," said Richard Schaefer, Chairman and CEO of Ringstar Sports. "Murat Gassiev is clearly one of the top cruiserweights in the world but he will have a great obstacle against the battle-tested former champion Krzysztof Wlodarczyk, who will have a big boost from the raucous Polish fans in New Jersey. Prudential Center is the perfect venue for this event and I know that the fans will enjoy this matchup as both men vie for the Muhammad Ali Trophy."

The Polish fans in New Jersey have created some great atmospheres...the Adamek fights were pumping.

Mateusz Masternak fights on the undercard as he is a substitute fighter for that bout, probably against a pretty decent opponent - with 2 solid Polish fighters on the card I expect a great atmosphere at Prudential Center that night. The truth is that Polish fighters usually receive a better support in NJ/NY/Chicago than in Poland itself. I would like if Adam Kownacki fights on this card too I don't know if it's possible though.

This card is unlikely to be broadcast in the States, they only offered the entire tournament to networks in a package deal. All the major outlets passed.
