Already a standout contender for Europe’s biggest MMA promotion, Poland’s KSW Federation will make history with its first international show, scheduled for October 31st at the famous The SSE Arena, Wembley in London. Tickets for KSW: Road to Wembley are already available on www.AXS.com.
In the main event five-time World’s Strongest Man winner Mariusz Pudzianowski (8-3) will fight for the first time on UK soil. ‘Pudzian’ has put together a three-fight win streak since he was last defeated by Sean McCorkle via submission in 2013. Pudzianowski has since defeated two former UFC fighters, including McCorkle in a rematch following their first encounter, as well as the UK’s Oli Thompson and Olympic Judo champion Paweł Nastula. All three victories were earned via unanimous decision.
Also on the card is one of Poland’s most decorated heavyweight kickboxers, the charismatic Marcin Różalski (5-3). who will make his return to professional MMA after a one-year hiatus. After collecting three consecutive victories against Rodney Glunder, Paul Slowinski and Nick Rossborough over a three year period from 2012-2014, Różalski was matched against kickboxing legend Peter Graham last October. The two fighters went blow for blow until Różalsk succumbed to a knee injury in the second round.
Including the announced headliners, KSW: Road to Wembley is expected to feature a host of the promotion’s leading stars, in addition to a lineup of recognizable British fighters in the seven main card bouts. The first match-ups will be announced in the coming weeks.
