Professional career.
Szeremeta made his professional debut on 2 December 2012, scoring a four-round points decision (PTS) victory over Janos Lakatos at the OSiR Huragan Arena in Wołomin, Poland.
After compiling a record of 16–0 (2 KOs) he was due to face European middleweight champion, Emanuele Blandamura. After Blandamura relinquished the European title to face WBA (Regular) middleweight champion Ryōta Murata, Szeremeta faced Alessandro Goddi for the vacant European title on 23 February 2018 at the Palasport V.le Tiziano in Rome, Italy. Szeremeta defeated Goddi, capturing the title via second-round technical knockout (TKO). He made two successful defences of the title – a tenth-round knockout (KO) against Ruben Diaz in September and a unanimous decision (UD) against Andrew Francillette in March 2019 – followed by an eight-round UD victory in a non-title fight against Edwin Palacios in July. Szeremeta was due to face mandatory challenger Matteo Signani, but chose to relinquish his European title in order to face Oscar Cortés in a final eliminator for the IBF middleweight title. The bout took place on 5 October 2019 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, as part of the undercard for the vacant IBF title fight between Gennady Golovkin and Serhiy Derevyanchenko. Szeremeta defeated Cortés via second round TKO to set up a fight with Golovkin, who defeated Derevyanchenko to capture the IBF title.
