KSW featherweight champ Salahdine Parnasse (16-1) will attempt to win his second KSW title when he faces former title contender Sebastian Rajewski (12-7) for the interim-KSW lightweight championship in the main event of KSW 76 on November 12 in Poland.

Parnasse was originally schedule to face Marian Ziolkowski in a champ vs. champ matchup, but the Polish fighter suffered an injury which has forced him out for several months and, as a result, the interim-title was created. 

The 24-year-old French star joined KSW in 2017 has since risen to become one of the top talents in the world today. He has posted an 8-1 record in KSW and is a two-time KSW featherweight champion. In his KSW debut he beat Lukasz Rajewski, brother of his KSW 76 opponent Sebastian, and over the past five years he has beaten former champions Artur Sowinski and Marcin Wrzosek and a host of top European fighter including Daniel Rutkowski, Filip Pejic and Ivan Buchinger

Elsewhere on the card, the U.K.’s Tom Breese (15-3) is aiming to continue his winning ways when he faces fellow UFC veteran Pawel Pawlak (20-4-1) in a big middleweight fight, the infamous Brian Hooi (18-8) returns after his stellar KSW debut and meets Artur Szczepaniak (8-1), and a big all-Polish clash between the undefeated Adrian Bartosinski (12-0) and former title contender Krystian Kaszubowski (10-2) will take place in the co-main event.

  • November 12 – “KSW 76: Parnasse vs. Rajewski”
