Video: Scott Askham vs. Marcin Wojcik - KSW 45 Tournament Promo

The latest KSW 45 fight promo is now out and it features Scott Askham (16-4) and Marcin 'The Giant' Wojcik (11-5) - one half of the middleweight tournament at KSW 45 on October 6.
 


On October 6 at KSW 45 in The SSE Arena, Wembley the first round of a four-man middleweight tournament will take place to crown the new champion of the division after Mamed Khalidov vacated the title. This tournament features former champ Michal Materla (26-6) and Olympic medalist Damian Janikowski (3-0) on one side and the UK's number one middleweight Scott Askham (16-4) and Marcin 'The Giant' Wojcik (11-5) on the other.
 
Scott Askham made a huge splash in his KSW debut earlier this year with a first round KO win over Michal Materla at KSW 42. A former BAMMA champion and six-fight UFC veteran, Askham has risen to become the UK's number one ranked middleweight and with ten career wins coming via TKO/KO he has established himself as one of the most dangerous finishers in the division.
 
Askham faces a different challenge at KSW 45 coming in the shape of 'The Giant' Marcin Wojcik. A former KSW light heavyweight title contender, Wojcik is on an impressive 9-1 run with that lone loss coming against Tomasz Narkun. The Polish fighter contested his last fight at heavyweight and will be stepping down to middleweight for the first time against Askham. With his size and power the other fighters in the middleweight tournament will want to be at their best to deal with him.
