The stage is set for an electrifying showdown, as Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki prepares to make history with its debut event in Gorzow Wielkopolski, Poland, with KSW 92 set to go down this Saturday at Gorzow Arena. The event will be headlined by a highly anticipated championship clash between reigning bantamweight champion Jakub Wiklacz and Zuriko Jojua, the No. 2-ranked contender in the division.
Wiklacz, fresh off a split decision victory and draw over Sebastian Przybysz in consecutive bouts, aims to solidify his reign atop the bantamweight division. Despite a previous bout with Jojua being derailed by injury, “Masa” remains undeterred while acknowledging his formidable skills. Standing across the cage against him will be Jojua, who enters the fray with a reputation for dynamic performances, having stormed into KSW with dominant victories over Shamil Banukayev and Antun Racic. The Georgian is determined to claim the bantamweight throne and has exuded immense confidence and determination leading up to the bout.
With both fighters poised to leave everything in the cage, a look at some of the numbers accompanying them to this point:
14: Wiklacz has notched 14 victories in his professional career.
