Brazilian featherweight Julio Cesar Neves has signed a multi-fight deal with Polish promotion KSW and will face former KSW title contender Daniel Rutkowski at KSW 92 on March 16 in Gorzow, Poland.
So, here’s the scoop. Julio Cesar Neves, a Brazilian featherweight, just signed a multi-fight deal with KSW. This news comes straight from the horse’s mouth – the company officials themselves.
Now, who’s he fighting first? It’s none other than Daniel Rutkowski, a former KSW title contender. The showdown is set for KSW 92, happening on March 16. And guess where? Gorzow, Poland.
But that’s not all. KSW 92 has another big fight on the cards. Jakub Wiklacz, the reigning 135-pound champ, will be defending his title. He’s up against Zuriko Jojua. Now, that’s a match to watch!
Let’s talk more about Neves. His record? Impressive. He’s 36-1 as a pro. He’s stepping into the KSW cage on a roll, with a six-fight winning streak and three finishes to his name. Remember his Bellator stint between 2014 and 2015? He went 2-1, knocking out two opponents before Jordan Parsons handed him a loss.
Now, onto Rutkowski. His record stands at 16-4, with one no contest. He’s looking to bounce back from a decision defeat to Patryk Kaczmarczyk. That was back in November 2023. He’s 4-2 under the KSW banner. His other loss? A fourth-round defeat to then-champion Salahdine Parnasse. Tough break, huh?
