Heavyweight contender Tomasz Adamek, who on September 10th will return to the ring at the stadium in Wroclaw, against WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko, took a short break from training to travel with his team to the picturesque village of Alexandria Bay. On weekend retreat, he was accompanied by his manager Ziggy Rozalski and Robert Piwowarczyk, in charge of Adamek's security. Photos by Mike Gladysz.

"We had a nice weekend. We caught fish. Although I am not an avid fisherman, I loved it. Water, rod and the complete silence was very calming. We relaxed and even caught fish. I do not know whether it was a goldfish, but if so, I have one wish for her, in September I want to get the WBC belt. Last week I began training for this fight. For several weeks I will be trained in Jersey City, then in time me and my trainer Roger Bloodworth will leave for Pennsylvania to finish camp. We'll stay there until our departure to Poland.
