Recently disgraced drugs cheat, James Irvin appears set to make the trip to Poland later this month and take on heavy hitter, Mamed Khalidov on the KSW 15 card in Warsaw, a fight card that could also feature strongman, Mariusz Pudzianowski.
According to FiveOuncesOfPain.com, a source close to the situation revealed the news earlier today, with Irvin stepping in for the injured Thales Leites. This move is not likely to go down well with the athletic commissions in the U.S. after Irvin tested positive for drugs just last week following a December fight.
Also expected to be on the card is another controversial figure in the form of heavyweight powerhouse, Mariusz Pudzianowski. The giant Pole hasn’t been seen since his “win” over Eric “Butterbean” Esch back in September at KSW 14. He is expected to face former PRIDE star, James Thompson.
