Arkadiusz Wrzosek criticises Freak Fights: “Such people should not be applauded”.

Wrzosek on freakfights

According to Wrzosek, freak fights are starting to cross a dangerous line, abandoning originality and ingenuity in favour of controversy and sensationalism.

Not only are we running out of juxtaposition ideas, but we’re starting to see reheated chops and taking people who are no longer known for having done something, running a YouTube channel or being a streamer, but taking people who are controversial in some way, and some of them even too controversial,” said Wrzosek.

The KSW star doesn’t hide his nervousness and dissatisfaction with the current trends

.

In his opinion, promoting such figures in the public space does not bring anything positive to the society or the world of sport.

Such people should not be applauded, they should not live in the public space and I don’t know what bad thing I can say about it,” he said.

Cynicism of the Organisers and Criticism of the Audience

Wrzosek pointed out the paradox that accompanies freak fights – despite the widespread criticism and whistling in the halls, the final financial results for the organisers are satisfactory.

And they will probably come out, fight, be whistled by the whole hall, and at the end – which is funny – everyone’s numbers will agree – he noted

Before the fight with Szpilka

The statements came just before Wrzosek’s scheduled fight against Artur Szpilka at the XTB KSW 94 gala in Ergo Arena on Saturday. The clash is expected to be one of the highlights of the event, which will attract the attention of combat sports fans across the country.

Controversy ahead of Szpilka vs Wrzosek fight

Hours before Artur Szpilka’s scheduled fight against Arkadiusz Wrzosek at the XTB KSW 94 gala, the KSW organisation had to take urgent action in response to the problems that were occurring. Originally planned for 10 May, the Fan Zone, which was to take place on the border of Gdańsk and Sopot, was cancelled for reasons beyond the federation’s control. Additionally, the fighters’ weigh-in ceremony was moved to another venue and closed to the public. It is unofficially said that these decisions may have been dictated by fears of fan clashes. Artur Szpilka has distanced himself from this environment for years, although he has been associated with Wisla Krakow in the past. Arkadiusz Wrzosek, on the other hand, is an active supporter of Legia Warsaw, and his presence at the gala could have provoked tensions with fans of the Tricity clubs, Lechia Gdańsk and Arka Gdynia. This is not the first time similar situations have occurred in the Ergo Arena, highlighting the history of difficult relations between fans of different clubs at major sporting events in the region.
