Mariusz Pudzianowski, a celebrated figure in KSW, might be facing speculation regarding his career’s conclusion following his recent fight. Yet, KSW President Martin Lewandowski remains optimistic about his continuing participation.
Despite Pudzianowski’s consecutive knockout losses in the KSW Colosseum 2, a grand-scale event held in Warsaw, Poland, Lewandowski remains skeptical about the 46-year-old heavyweight’s retirement. Pudzianowski demonstrated commendable performance in the fight’s first round before falling victim to Artur Szpilka, a professional boxer, in the second.
In an interview on The MMA Hour, when Lewandowski was asked about the possibility of Pudzianowski’s retirement, he expressed uncertainty but leaned towards the probability of Pudzianowski pursuing his distinguished career.
He confessed, “To be frank, I haven’t had a conversation with him yet. However, I don’t think he will retire. I speculate he might participate in at least two more fights. He’s undoubtedly disheartened at the moment due to his strong belief in winning, especially considering his initial round’s performance.”
Lewandowski added, “I haven’t discussed this with the fighters yet. I plan to catch up with all of them who participated in the recent event to understand their current state. However, I believe Mariusz’s ambition is far from fulfilled.”
Pudzianowski commenced his professional journey with KSW in 2009, following an extraordinarily successful career as a strongman competitor. He holds the record of five World’s Strongest Man titles till now. He also tasted victory in MMA, once achieving a five-fight winning streak that was eventually ended by fellow KSW icon Mamed Khalidov last December.
Lewandowski highlighted Pudzianowski’s unique bond with his fanbase and his unwavering allegiance towards KSW. He mentioned that all three of their major names, including Mamed and Michal Materla, had received offers from other promotions, but KSW offered better terms.
“Pudzianowski has been a part of KSW since 2009, and Mamed even longer. The long journey with these two fighters has cultivated mutual respect and appreciation. It’s like home for them, and they feel more welcome here than anywhere else. However, the most crucial aspect is financial, as they are in this for the monetary reward,” added Lewandowski.
