Born in Bydgoszcz, Knyba is a Polish professional boxer competing in the Heavyweight division. Standing at 6 ft 7 with an 86 inch reach and weighing in at 255 lbs, Knyba is one of the biggest Heavyweights in the sport today. Before his sole defeat, Knyba accumulated an excellent undefeated record of 17-0 with some of his signature wins coming against Joey Dawejko, Andrzej Wawrzyk, Richard Lartey and Curtis Harper. On 4th November 2025, it was announced that Knyba would take on Agit Kabayel (26–0, 19 KOs) for his WBC interim Heavyweight title on 10 January 2026 in Oberhausen, Germany. Knyba suffered his first defeat by a controversial third-round TKO. Many observers, including Knyba, considered the stoppage premature, as Knyba was still fighting back and attempting to defend. On 4th September 2026, Knyba fought former unified heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jr. (35–2–1, 22 KOs) at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The Polish Hussar dominated the fight, relying on his jab and keeping the distance and scored a knockdown in the seventh round.
