Chicago’s Middleweight Kevin Nowaczyk Profile
At 36, Kevin Nowaczyk has carved out a career rooted in the gyms and fight cards of the US Midwest. A native of Chicago and a veteran of VFS Academy, he brings a 6’2” frame and the nickname GIVE ME YOUR LUNCH MONEY into every middleweight contest. His 21-4 record reflects more than two dozen outings under the lights of regional shows in Illinois and Indiana, each bout stacking another layer onto a quietly resilient resume.
Nowaczyk sits at number 381 in the North America rankings, an indicator of both his consistency and the crowded field at middleweight. He is also listed in the US Midwest and Indiana sub-regions, meeting the criteria of multiple appearances in each zone over his last six fights. Despite never breaking into the top echelons of a major promotion, he has maintained a presence in the weight class by competing there in his two most recent bouts.
Numbers only hint at the reality of Nowaczyk’s journey. Far from the pay per view spotlight, his career unfolds in backyard venues and regional circuits where the work is as much about daily training miles and late travel nights as it is about fight night adrenaline. In that venue he has built a professional ledger that speaks to a fighter determined to keep his lunch money collection growing one bout at a time.
