KSW 66 Results and Video Highlights | New KSW Champion and A Champ Retains
KSW 66 took place Saturday evening, January 15, from Szczecin, Poland. It marked the first event of 2022 and kicked-off a year set to be the biggest in company history.
In the main event, lightweight champion Marian Ziolkowski (24-8-1) succesfully defended his title against former welterweight champion Borys Mankowski (22-9-1). Ziolkowski came back from two rounds down to score a unanimous 48-47 decision on all judges’ scorecards.
Russia’s Ibragim Chuzhigaev (16-5) shocked everyone to became the new KSW light heavyweight champ, ending the six-year run of Tomasz Narkun (18-5). It was a back and forth war that went the distance. However, it was Chuzhigaev who was awarded the decision and had gold wrapped around his waist.
