David Kowalewski Fight In Sight Podcast interview on his last fight

David Kowalewski Fight In Sight Podcast interview with Timmy B centered on a January 16 fight against Johnny Hortano that Kowalewski says could be his last. The New Jersey boxer explained why repeated weight changes are wearing him down, how he wants Devil Promotions to help lesser-known fighters, and why he might still return for another opponent.

What did David Kowalewski say about his next fight with Johnny Hortano?

David Kowalewski is scheduled to fight Johnny Hortano on January 16 under his own Devil Promotions banner. He described the matchup as the fight he needs to settle before deciding what comes next, but said it has fallen through several times. A backup opponent is in place in case Hortano does not fight.

The repeatedly delayed fight

Kowalewski said the matchup had been discussed for months and that earlier plans to fight had not worked out. He expects the buildup to make this a bigger event for him than his previous fights. Although he spoke confidently about winning, he also stressed how much he wants the bout to happen at all.

Why the matchup matters to Kowalewski

The dispute goes beyond a routine booking for Kowalewski. He said his own experiences and stories he has heard from Ziggy and other fighters have given him a reason to face Hortano. Those are Kowalewski’s accounts of the rivalry, not findings about his opponent. He also acknowledged the awkwardness of promoting a fighter he dislikes on posters for his own event.

He named Ziggy the Demon against Bam as the co-main event. Rather than promise that Hortano will appear, Kowalewski pointed to the backup opponent and asked supporters to watch the January 16 card.

What did David Kowalewski say about Devil Promotions?

David Kowalewski said he took up Devil Promotions in July because he enjoys making fights and giving lesser-known boxers a chance to build a name. The promotion is connected to JERSEY TITANZ, where he has also fought, and he described its events as underground bouts run largely under amateur-style rules.

A place for familiar and new fighters

For Kowalewski, promoting is not just a way to arrange his own fight. He wants fighters from the JERSEY TITANZ circle to have a familiar place to compete while opening opportunities to people who are not well known. He said whether a fighter already has an entertaining persona matters less to him than getting that person into a fight.

How fans can watch

Kowalewski said the January 16 event is planned for live streams on YouTube, Twitch and Kick, with streams also on Facebook and Instagram. He directed viewers looking for the YouTube broadcast to the JERSEY TITANZ channel because its page and Devil Promotions are connected. He estimated that his events sell 120 to 140 tickets.

Running the promotion has not erased the costs of boxing. Asked about Monster Energy, Kowalewski said he had sought sponsorship and was still waiting for a response. He made clear that paying for the sport is difficult, even as he takes on the work of arranging events.

Why is David Kowalewski considering retirement from boxing?

David Kowalewski said January 16 could be his final fight because he no longer feels he has a clear reason to keep putting his body through boxing’s demands. The largest practical problem he identified is repeated, substantial weight gain and loss between opponents, not a loss of interest in the sport.

To explain the strain, Kowalewski described weighing 215 pounds for one prospective matchup at 240, then needing to reach 200 for another. He said that kind of change could mean losing 40 pounds over three or four months, and described eating about 700 calories a day while spending much of his time in the gym. Those figures describe the changes he discussed, not a prescribed plan for other fighters.

His uncertainty has limits. Kowalewski said he has previously announced a point at which he would stop, only to reconsider. He could decide to fight again after January 16, particularly if the result leaves unfinished business or another matchup gives him a reason to train.

Kowalewski put the distinction between boxing and its physical cost plainly:

i'll never ever fall out of love with the sport

Would David Kowalewski fight for another promotion or face Foul G again?

David Kowalewski did not rule out fighting elsewhere or continuing after Hortano, but he dislikes the prospect of joining another promotion only to appear on the prelims. If he keeps boxing, he said another fight with Foul G is on his list because a planned October meeting did not happen.

Why a prelim slot bothers him

Kowalewski said he has spent about seven years building his character as a fighter. He recalled being placed on a preliminary card after vacating a light heavyweight title, an experience that made the idea of starting lower on another promotion’s bill unappealing. Timmy B argued that moving to a different promotion could bring new opponents and a more consistent weight class; Kowalewski conceded that the argument was compelling.

Unfinished business with Foul G

The boxer said Foul G’s personal issues prevented their planned October fight. Kowalewski did not describe that prospective bout as a settled next booking, but said he would like another meeting if he remains active. He has also kept a list of possible opponents so that a decision to continue would not leave him without a goal.

That need for a specific target shapes his outlook. Kowalewski said an opponent cannot be merely a name on a card: he wants a reason to work toward the fight. For now, Hortano is that target, while future matchups depend on how Kowalewski feels afterward.

How does David Kowalewski want to help his teammates?

David Kowalewski wants his work with Devil Promotions to give his Brothers of Destruction with Ziggy Underdog teammates room to grow alongside him. He said the group has added Anthony, and he would rather use his own profile to help the others advance than pursue attention alone.

Kowalewski also works for his town, so fighting is not his only responsibility. He presented building up his teammates as a matter of fairness to the people who help him. In his view, reaching a higher level without bringing those people along would leave both the achievement and the group worse off.

Promoting could become a larger part of his future, but he knows how difficult it would be to watch a card without boxing on it. He recalled sitting out a JERSEY TITANZ event that he helped host and wishing he had fought. Even if he announces that he is finished after January 16, he expects that feeling to return whenever he attends another show.

What did David Kowalewski say about life outside boxing?

David Kowalewski said he is happy with his life outside the frustration of making weight. He rated his happiness at 9.5 out of 10 and described a routine of work, the gym, meals, sleep, occasional gaming and time with friends that he does not want to give up.

That contentment complicates his decision about fighting. He said he is not generally angry or unhappy and does not need boxing to supply a purpose to every part of his life. His concern is more specific: whether a particular bout is worth the physical effort required to prepare for it.

Kowalewski urged people to leave time for dinners and friends rather than reduce life to work and sleep. For him, maintaining that smaller circle matters whether he continues competing, concentrates on promoting, or does both after the Hortano fight.
