Martin Lewandowski’s KSW was among the first European promotions to announce cancelled events in light of the coronavirus pandemic and the Polish promoter believes that the global situation could produce one of the most challenging times for promoters due to the uncertainty that comes along with it.
Lewandowski has built KSW into one of the biggest MMA promotions in the world and admitted that he was forced into cancelling KSW 53, which was due to take place this weekend, as well as KSW 54 which was scheduled to take place in late May.
As a platform performed on by many fighters across Europe and beyond, Lewandowski underlined how bringing different nationalities into Poland while the coronavirus was spreading was one of the main reasons that the promotion made the decision to cancel two shows.
