Sebastian
Przybysz will defend his 135-pound belt against Jakub
Wiklacz in the evening’s co-main event, while reigning
205-pound king Ibragim
Chuzhigaev will face Ivan Erslan
in another featured contest. The Polish promotion recently
announced the bookings. KSW 77 takes place at Arena Gliwice in
Gliwice, Poland, and is headlined by a heavyweight showdown pitting
Mamed
Khalidov against Mariusz
Pudzianowski.
Przybysz has posted a 7-1 mark since joining KSW. He claimed the
bantamweight belt with a unanimous decision triumph over Antun Racic
at KSW 59 and has since defended the strap twice with victories
against Brunos Augusto Dos Santos and Werlleson
Martins Ribeiro.
Wiklacz has won three straight fights under the KSW banner. In his
last outing, “Masa” outpointed Bruno
Augusto Dos Santos at KSW 71 on June 18. Nine of his 13
professional triumphs have come by way of submission.
Chuzhigaev claimed the light heavyweight throne with a five-round
verdict over Tomasz
Narkun at KSW 66 on Jan. 15. He has won his last seven bouts,
finishing three of those by knockout or technical knockout.
Erslan has lost just once in 14 professional outings. After falling
to Narkun at KSW 56, the 31-year-old Croatian has rattled off three
consecutive first-round finishes within the Polish promotion.
