Polish combat athletes prepare for major KSW and boxing returns

Polish combat sports athletes are preparing for significant upcoming matchups. Radosław Paczuski is set to return to the KSW cage on September 19 at XTB KSW 121 in Liberec. Following a year-long hiatus after a knockout loss to Piotr Kuberski, Paczuski will face Michał Michalskim. Paczuski noted that his time away was necessary for physical and mental recovery to regain his competitive drive.

In boxing, Michał Cieślak is reportedly in talks for a major world championship bout. Following his WBC Interim cruiserweight title win against Jean Pascal, Cieślak may face David Benavidez on December 12, 2026. The potential fight, reported by sources linked to 'The Ring' magazine, would be for the full WBC cruiserweight world title.
