When Mariusz Pudzianowski was at the top of the world of strongmen and he secured his fifth world championship, the young Eddie Hall was just starting his professional career with lifting the heaviest weights in the world. Much like “Pudzian”, Hall became a true dominator in his own country and so he went on to conquer the world. In 2016, he managed to achieve something that had previously seemed impossible. For the first time in history, he deadlifted half a ton! A year later, he made another of his dreams come true when he became the strongest man in the world, thus joining the pantheon of this discipline Mariusz Pudzianowski. At that time, “Pudzian” was securing one victory in KSW after another, by using his incredible strength to crush his opponents.
The first confrontation between them will take place in KSW
When Hall retired as a strongman, he started looking for other challenges. He tried his luck in boxing and arm wrestling. MMA also caught his attention as Mariusz Pudzianowski was fighting in KSW time and time again. However, it took some time for both gentlemen to get a chance to face each other and even though they have never had the opportunity to compete in a strongmen competition, now they are about to collide in an incredible MMA bout inside the KSW cage.
Two title matches and the return of Artur Szpilka
The main event of XTB KSW 105 will feature a clash of two sworn enemies who had already fought each other before. In this bout, Adrian Bartosiński (15-1, 11 KO, 2 Sub), the dominator of the welterweight division shall collide with Andrzej Grzebyk (22-6, 13 KO, 3 Sub), the number one of the division. This will be a rematch after their first fight in 2022 which ended with the victory of the popular “Bartos.”
The prize of the other title match will be the light heavyweight championship belt. Rafał Haratyk (20-5-2, 7 KO, 5 Sub) shall attempt to defend his title for the second time against Ibragim Chuzhigaev (19-5, 8 KO, 4 Sub), the former KSW champion who has never lost his belt in a fight. Both gentlemen were supposed to face each other outside of the organization in the past, but eventually their fight never took place.
One of the co-main events of XTB KSW 105 will also feature the return of Artur Szpilka (3-1, 3 KO) who used to be a world class professional boxer. This time, he shall test his MMA skills against Errol Zimmerman (1-1, 1 KO), a very experienced kickboxer.
