Antun Racic defends bantamweight title against Sebastian Przybysz in KSW 59 rematch

The KSW bantamweight title will be on the line at KSW 59: Fight Code on March 20th when Croatia’s Antun Racic (25-8-1) defends his belt against Poland’s Sebastian Przybysz (7-2) in the co-main event.

Racic has been a dominating force since entering the promotion in 2017, winning six fights straight. The 30-year-old made history at KSW 51 becoming the first ever 135lb champion in the promotion’s history with a win over veteran fighter Damian Stasiak.

The pride of Dubrovnik successfully defended his title against top Brazilian prospect Bruno Santos in his last contest and will aim to hold onto the title when he meets the challenging Sebastian Przybysz in a rematch of their bout from 2018.

Since their last meeting, Sebastian Przybysz has had three impressive wins in a row with victories over European MMA veterans Bogdan Barbu and Lemmy ‘The Dog’ Krusic and, most recently, he avenged his first loss by stopping the highly rated Jakub Wikłacz.

Now the 27-year-old will be aiming the avenge his only other loss and, in doing so, realise his dream by capturing the KSW bantamweight title from Antun Racic.

Headlining KSW 59 will be five time world’s strongest man Mariusz Pudzianowski against a TBA opponent.

KSW 59: Fight Code takes place March 20th and is available to watch worldwide on KSWTV.com and the KSW App on iOS & Android.
