NORTH BERGEN, NJ (February 28, 2011) – The professional debut of six-time Polish national amateur champion Kamil Laszczyk has been rescheduled for this Friday night, March 4 at the Cordon Bleu Banquet Hall in Woodhaven, New York. The 19-year-old Laszczyk of North Bergen, NJ by way of Wroclaw, Poland is schedule to face Emil Brooks (0-2) of Buffalo, NY in the four-round super-featherweight undercard matchup.
Laszczyk was brought to America by the Global Boxing Foundation late last year after compiling a 110-7 amateur record. It’s a mark of his dedication that he has been living in the gym – literally. He is staying in an apartment complex adjacent to the Global Boxing Gym, which has kept him focused on his training. He is now promoted by Global Boxing Promotions and trained by Aroz “Terrific” Gist.
Laszczyk was scheduled to fight on the undercard of his stablemate Mariusz Wach’s third-round knockout of Jonathan Haggler earlier this month in Newark, NJ but the fight was canceled when his opponent failed to come in on weight.
“I’m happy that I can finally fight,” said the exclusively Polish-speaking Laszczyk through interpreter Kasia Niedzwiecka. “I’m training hard and I’m 100% prepared to give the fans my best performance.”
The show will be promoted by New Legend Boxing Promotions. The Cordon Bleu Banquet Hall is located at 96-01 Jamaica Avenue in Woodhaven, NY.
The first bout will begin at 7:30 p.m. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m.

Immigration reform debate set for Senate floor.
Nation’s Cities Weekly March 27, 2006 | McGee, Jennifer Two weeks of debate on immigration reform is set to commence on the Senate floor this week. Earlier this year, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) stated that immigration reform will be top priority for the Senate in 2006. immigrationreformnewsnow.net immigration reform news
Comprehensive immigration reform is a key legislative priority for the National League of Cities in 2006 as well.
In February, Frist gave the Judiciary Committee an ultimatum to have a bill ready for debate on March 27 or he would bring his own enforcement-only bill to the Senate floor, which he did on March 16 as the Senate Judiciary Committee could not reach consensus on legislation. The Frist bill, S. 2454, addresses immigration reform from an enforcement-only perspective.
In response to S. 2454, the Senate Judiciary Committee staff is locked in negotiations to meet Frist’s March 27 deadline and craft a bill in a more comprehensive manner.
Up for discussion is a plan to address the dilemma of the 12 million undocumented workers residing in the United States. The committee is working on a plan that would create a guest worker program that would allow businesses in need of labor to hire foreign workers on a temporary basis.
Committee staff is also ironing out a proposal by Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) that would enable the 12 million workers living in the country to apply for permanent residency.
To qualify, applicants would have to: 1) complete the employment requirement; 2) pay an additional $1,000 fine; 3) be admissible under immigration laws; 4) undergo a medical examination; 5) show proof of payment of taxes; 6) demonstrate knowledge of English and U.S. civics; 7) undergo criminal and security background checks; and 8) register for military selective service. here immigration reform news
The Judiciary Committee plan would go a step further and require these folks to line up behind the 3 million people who have already applied for green cards.
NLC supports tough enforcement of immigration laws, but also asks Congress to address immigration reform in a comprehensive manner. National Municipal Policy supports “a consistent and enforceable balance on the use of foreign labor to fill domestic needs.” Presently NLC policy does not address a path to citizenship for undocumented workers.
At this time, there is no viable proposal in the Senate that would mirror a proposal in H.R. 4437 that mandates that state and local police officers have the authority to enforce Federal immigration laws. NLC opposes this provision as it is an outright preemption of local laws. H.R. 2237 is the House immigration reform measure that narrowly passed last December.
The Senate is expected to debate immigration reform for two weeks.
