Mateusz Gamrot says Poland cleaner, safer and more modern than United States

Lightweight contender Mateusz Gamrot stated that Poland is cleaner, safer, more hospitable, and in many ways more modern than the United States. The Polish fighter shared observations from his travels, noting that Poland adopted contactless payment terminals a decade before some American establishments. Gamrot criticized American hospitality, recounting experiences where he was invited to barbecues but had to bring his own food or go hungry. He also described American social interactions as superficial, with people expecting quick, polite exchanges rather than genuine conversation. Despite acknowledging career advantages in the U.S., Gamrot emphasized that quality of life is not necessarily better there, and his children prefer being in Poland with their grandmother over Florida vacations.
