KSW will be heading to London on October 31 and the promotion has added Marcin Różalski vs. James McSweeney, Borys Mańkowski vs. Mikhail Tsarev, and Brett Cooper vs. Maiquel Falcao to the fight card.
The fight bookings were announced by KSW in a press release on Monday.
KSW: Road to Wembley will come from the SSE Arena and the entire event will be available on www.KSWTV.com.
Różalski (5-3) is coming off a lost to Peter Graham at KSW 28 last year and the defeat snapped a three fight winning streak. Four of his five wins have come by stoppage and three of those have come by TKO/KO. McSweeney (14-12) will also enter this fight following a defeat as he lost to Roger Gracie at ONE Championship 23. Just like Różalski, the defeat snapped a three fight winning streak and this will be his KSW debut.
“I am very proud to sign with KSW,” McSweeney said in a press release. “They are a doing great things in the MMA industry, bringing in big names to make very exciting fights across Europe! I’m very excited to fight and show the KSW fans what I do! I’m happy to make my KSW debut on October 31st in the amazing SSE Arena, Wembley. I have fought there many times early in my career and I can’t wait to see all my fans in the UK to watch me fight against Rozalski. THIS WILL BE A FIGHT NOT TO MISS!!!”
Mańkowski (17-5-1) is the reigning KSW welterweight champion and he has won four in a row. His most recent win came in February as he defeated Mohsen Bahari by unanimous decision. Tsarev (29-4) was scheduled to meet Mańkowski in February, but a sickness forced him off the event. He is currently on a five fight winning streak and all of those wins have come by TKO/KO.
Cooper (20-11) made his KSW debut in December of last year and lost a decision against Mamed Khalidov. He is 1-4 in his last five fights and the only victory during this time frame came at Bellator 114 against Kendall Grove.
