Sampson Boxing Signs Red Hot Middleweight Vito Mielnicki Jr to Exclusive Promotional Contract

PhilBoxing.com




(December 29, 2025) – Sampson Lewkowicz of Sampson Boxing proudly announces the signing of WBO #5- and WBC #11-ranked middleweight Vito “White Magic” Mielnicki Jr to an exclusive promotional contract.

23-year-old Mielnicki (22-1, 13 KOs), from Roseland, New Jersey, started boxing at age seven and went on to compile an amateur career record of 147-22 on his way to becoming a four-time Junior National Golden Gloves champion in addition to competing internationally and winning countless other national championships, including the 2017 USA Junior National Championships. Mielnicki was also on the USA High Performance Team.

An entertaining fighter with matinee idol looks, Mielnicki turned professional in 2019 and has fought his way to several regional titles and been impressive in numerous nationally televised appearances in supporting bouts of PPV broadcasts.

Mielnicki made two ring appearances this year. In June, in front of his hometown New Jersey fans, Mielnicki scored a unanimous 10-round unanimous decision over Kamil Gardzielik (then 19-0) to win the IBF USBA, IBO Americas and WBC USA Middleweight Championships. And in his most recent ring appearance, Mielnicki stopped Samuel Nmomah (then 21-0) in nine rounds at ANB Arena in Riyadh, to win the WBO Global Middleweight Championship in November.

“I’m looking forward to having Sampson elevate my career to the world championship level, like he’s done with so many other fighters,” said Mielnicki Jr. “We’re looking to build in Atlantic City in my next three fights. I’m excited to bring big-time boxing back to New Jersey and have Sampson take my career to the next level.”

“I’ve known Vito since his pro debut and my relationship with him and his father, Vito Sr., has been pure friendship,” added Sampson Lewkowicz. “Signing this agreement will be a new sunrise for Vito Mielnicki’s career in 2026, starting in April in Atlantic City.”

Details on Mielnicki’s April Sampson Boxing debut will be announced shortly.
