KSW has booked another, high-profile fight for the promotion’s upcoming, colosseum card, as Mamed Khalidov and Scott Askham will battle for the third time.

Recently, KSW announced that Askham – Khalidov III will be part of the June 3rd event, which will be hosted by the PGE Narodowy in Warsaw, Poland.

Khalidov (36-8-2) and Askam (19-5) battled for the first time in December, 2019, and the latter won the fight via unanimous decision. In their October, 2020, rematch, however, Khalidov knocked Askham out in round two to win the middleweight title.

Due to injuries, Askham has not competed since losing to Khalidov. The latter proceeded to lose the middleweight title to Roberto Soldic, and most recently in December, Khalidov stopped Mariusz Pudzianowski.

The final chapter in their story will be written on the grandest stage of them all….
