Daniel ‘Skalpel’ Gładysz sustained a severe eye injury during a bare-knuckle boxing match against Paweł ‘ESIOR’ Wróblewski at the GROMDA 26 event in early September. Gładysz initially reported that his vision in the affected eye was reduced by 70% following the bout.

Subsequent medical documentation from the Mazovian Specialist Hospital in Radom clarified that the injury, caused by an unintentional thumb strike from his opponent, included corneal erosion, hyphema, secondary glaucoma, and ocular contusion. To manage the costs of specialized diagnostics, consultations, and potential surgery to save his vision, Gładysz has launched a fundraising campaign.
