Elsewhere at KSW 48 Stjepan Bekavac suffered an injury in the first round of his fight with old rival Lukasz Jurkowski. As a result, Jurkowski was awarded the TKO win.

The pair now hold similar wins over the other after Jurkowski injured himself during their first fight fourteen years ago. Next up is KSW 49 on May 18 in Gdansk, Poland where Croatia’s Roberto Soldic will defend his welterweight title against the undefeated Krystian Kaszubowski and Antun Racic will rematch Pawel Polytilo in an exciting bantamweight collision.
