Roberto Soldic is set to make the first defense of his KSW welterweight title when he takes on two-division EFC champion, Dricus Du Plessis, at KSW 43.
KSW announced the welterweight title fight on Monday morning via press release.
Soldic (13-2) captured the welterweight title when he forced former champion Borys Mankowski to retire following the third round of their clash at KSW 41, which marked his first fight with the promotion. The 23-year-old Croatian put the European scene on notice just before his KSW debut when he scored a brutal first round knockout over Welsh standout, Lewis Long, at Cage Warriors 87.
