New Lightweight Champion to Be Crowned in KSW 57 Co-Main Event



Marian Ziolkowski and Roman Szymanski will vie for the vacant lightweight championship at KSW 57.

The Polish promotion announced the matchup on Tuesday. The 155-pound belt was vacated after former champ Mateusz Gamrot recently signed with the UFC. KSW 57 takes place in Lodz, Poland, on Dec. 19 and is headlined by a heavyweight championship tilt pitting Phil De Fries against Michal Kita. The card airs via pay-per-view on KSWTV.com. Also confirmed for KSW 57 is a lightweight showdown between Artur Sowinski and Borys Mankowski.

Ziolkowski was the most recent title challenger for Gamrot, losing a five-round verdict at KSW 54 on Aug. 29. That halted a two-bout winning streak for the Warsaw native, who is 21-8-1 over the course of a career that began in 2011. Ziolkowski is 2-2 under the KSW banner.

After suffering a second-round TKO loss to Salahdine Parnasse in an interim featherweight title bout at KSW 48, Szymanski returned to 155 pounds to earned back-to-back triumphs against Milos Janicic and Filip Pejic. Szymanski has won five of his seven KSW appearances and is 13-5 as a professional overall.
