Introducing Akop Szostak
Akop Szostak is one of the most popular personal trainers in Poland and has amassed an Instagram following of almost 300k. The Warsaw native made his pro MMA debut in 2015 and has been training in the Berkut WCA Fight Team gym, one of the top gyms in Poland and home to the likes of Anzor Azhiev, Damian Janikowski, Mariusz Pudzianowski and many more.
The 30-year-old began his MMA adventure with a 30 second KO before winning his follow up fight via decision against a much more experienced opponent. Back to back losses followed for Szoztak, including one against strongman Tyberiusz Kowalczyk, before taking a break away from the sport. Then in April this year he returned with a bang and won via second round TKO.
After original opponent John Smith withdrew himself from the fight, Akop Szostak (3-2) will now face heavy hitting Brit Jamie Sloane (8-5) at KSW 45 in The SSE Arena, Wembley on October 6. Sloane is a dangerous and game fighter who holds a 100% finishing rate. In fact none of his thirteen bouts have went past the second round. Sloane will be looking to get back to winning ways after dropping fights to veterans Alessio Sakara and Karlos Vemola, respectively, in his past two outings.
KSW 45: The Return to Wembley will be live around the world on www.KSWTV.com and tickets are on sale right now from AXS.com.
