Marian
Ziolkowski is ready to take advantage of his unexpected
opportunity.
KSW
54 will be taking place on Aug. 29 in Warsaw, Poland, where it
will be topped by a lightweight championship affair. Two-division
king Mateusz
Gamrot (16-0, 1 NC) will be putting not only his 155-pound belt
up for grabs, but his unbeaten record on the line as he takes on
replacement opponent Marian
Ziolkowski (21-7-1, 1 NC). Gamrot, who last defended his title
in July, was originally slated to face fellow undefeated Shamil
Musaev, but after a knee injury to Musaev, Ziolkowski stepped
up from a bout earlier on the card. Both fighters made weight for
their title showdown, with Gamrot at the 155-pound mark and
Ziolkowski weighing in at 154 pounds in response.
The co-headlining bout sees the
recently suspended Quentin
Domingos (254) welcome boxer Izuagbe
Ugonoh (232) to the sport at heavyweight. Also at heavyweight,
two power strikers with 25 combined knockouts across 40 victories
meet as Michal
Andryszak (255) locks horns with Michal Kita
(233). In the lightweight division, the surging Maciej
Kazieczko (155) takes on a rebounding Karlo Caput
(153), with the latter suffering his first career defeat in May
2019. Finally, in a rare bantamweight tilt, Poland’s Pawel
Politylo (136) faces the far more experienced Romanian Bogdan
Barbu (135).
KSW 54 will go down in Warsaw, Poland, on Aug. 29, kicking off at 2
p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT/7 p.m. GMT on KSWTV.com and Dazn. KSW 54 will be
the first event for the promotion following the coronavirus
pandemic to allow both fans and media in attendance.
