The KSW “Epic” gala, the third event from Polish organization Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki in 2024, is set to go down on Saturday at PreZero Arena in Gliwice, Poland. The show streams live on kswepic.tv pay-per-view at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT.
In the main event, prominent names Mamed Khalidov and Tomasz Adamek lock horns in what is poised to be an epic boxing clash loaded with the potential to be a dazzling spectacle. The gala showcases a buffet of captivating clashes with compelling stipulations. The event features a mixed martial arts showdown in the gi, as Piotr Kacprzak, a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, squares off against Adam Brysz, a black belt in judo.
The event also features a no-holds-barred clash between Konrad Rusinski and Muslim Tulshaev. In the light heavyweight division, No. 2-ranked contender Ivan Erslan will test himself against Bogdan Gnidko, the No. 4-ranked fighter on the organization’s 205-pound roster. If that does not get the fans excited, four fighters will go toe-to-toe in the fan-favorite light heavyweight championship tournament featuring Kleber Silva-Damian Piwowarczyk and Marcin Wojcik-Rafal Haratyk. Interestingly, the entire light heavyweight tournament, including the semi-finals and final, will be contested on the same night. KSW “Epic” also features an adrenaline-charged muay thai clash between Michal Krolik and Vaclav Sivak, as well as a grappling showdown between Philip De Fries and Josh Barnett.
