Dariusz “Tiger” Michalczewski – a boxing legend, world champion, and sporting icon.

He is one of the greatest Polish boxers in history. Born in Gdansk, he spent years competing under the German flag before returning to Poland as a symbol of resilience and athletic determination.

His greatest achievements include three world championship belts in the light heavyweight division – WBO, WBA, and IBF – which made him the undisputed world champion. For 9 years, he reigned supreme in his category, defending the WBO title 23 times, one of the best records in boxing history.

In 2002, the WBO federation named Michalczewski the Champion of All Time, and his fight against American Richard Hall was awarded the best bout of 2002. He was the first boxer in history to unify the WBA, IBF, and WBO titles. He remains one of the most popular and recognizable Polish athletes.

Michalczewski is not only an exceptional sportsman but also a man with a mission. In 2003, he founded the “Równe Szanse” (“Equal Chances”) Foundation, dedicated to supporting young people in pursuing their sporting dreams, promoting a healthy lifestyle, and helping children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Through his work, he inspires young people to work hard, showing that determination and passion can open the door to great achievements.
