It all started on the same night. 🐐
December 23, 2017 — KSW 41, Katowice.
On the same card, two young prospects made their KSW debuts. At the time, nobody could have imagined just how far their careers would go.
Salahdine Parnasse 🇫🇷 & Roberto Soldić 🇭🇷.
Parnasse entered KSW at just 19 years old and gradually became one of the greatest fighters in the promotion’s history. A featherweight champion who later conquered the lightweight division, he made history by becoming a KSW double champion, finishing his KSW run with an impressive 14–2 record.
On that very same night, Roberto Soldić made his KSW debut against reigning welterweight champion Borys Mańkowski — and shocked everyone by stopping him in the third round to become champion. He went on to become a two-division KSW champion, winning the welterweight title twice and the middleweight title once.
Two extraordinary journeys.
Two champions.
Two stars who went on to become global names.
