The world of MMA is set to buzz once again with the return of a Polish legend: Artur Szpilka. The boxer, who made his mark in the history of heavyweight division in Europe, will make his big comeback in the cage on December 19 at the flagship event XTB KSW 124, taking place in Gliwice. A date that already promises chills for combat sports fans!


A still-unknown opponent

The suspense is at its peak! KSW’s sports director, Wojsław Rysiewski, has confirmed that the identity of Artur Szpilka’s opponent will be revealed this Saturday. Currently 4th in the heavyweight rankings, Szpilka has strung together three consecutive wins since his victory over Augusto Sakai in July. An impressive streak that proves the Pole is still very much in the game.


Speculation running wild

Among the names circulating, Stefan Vojcak comes up often, as does that of former boxing champion Krzysztof "Diablo" Włodarczyk. A matchup that would blend experience and spectacle, perfect for an event like KSW 124. Rysiewski has also ruled out a potential clash with Arkadiusz Wrzosek due to his recent injury, confirming that the suspense remains intact.


A vacant title on the line?

The shadow of Phil De Fries, the heavyweight champion still recovering, looms over this fight. His return is not expected until early 2027, leaving the title vacant. A golden opportunity for Szpilka, who could finally claim a long-coveted belt. With his determination and track record, the Pole isn’t done yet!

With an opponent still unknown and a vacant title on the line, KSW 124 is shaping up to be a must-watch event. Artur Szpilka, in top form, could well write a new chapter in his story on December 19 in Gliwice. Stay tuned!
