Olympic Heroes Meet at KSW 52
2019 has continued the trend of KSW’s year on year growth over the past number of years. The promotion returned to London again, will make it’s debut in Croatia on November 9, and come December 7, for the first time ever, we will have seen six marquee KSW events in one calendar year. An increase from the four and five yearly events seen in previous years.
So it is fitting that the year will end with a massive KSW 52 event featuring two of the biggest fights in the promotion’s fifteen year history. The legend Mamed Khalidov (34-6-2) returns after a brief retirement to take on current middleweight champion Scott Askham (18-6) in the main event while two Polish Olympic medalists Damian Janikowski (4-2) and Szymon Kolecki (7-1) will collide in a huge co-main event.
As announced Monday afternoon at a press conference in Warsaw, Poland, the co-main event will see two of Poland’s most popular sporting heroes meet in a monumental fight. Olympic bronze medalist in greco-roman wrestling at London 2012 Damian Janikowski will face Olympic gold medalist in weightlifting Szymon Kolecki in a 91.5kg catchweight contest.
It was a fight no one ever expected to see but the stars aligned for this one. Janikowski, a middleweight wrestler, taking on Kolecki, a heavyweight weightlifter, promises to be one of the most intriguing and captivating contests ever in KSW.
KSW 52 will be available to watch worldwide on www.KSWTV.com on December 7.
