British trash talker Akonne Wanliss will take on Poland’s Mateusz Legierski in the quarterfinals at OKTAGON 58 on June 8.

Wanliss defeated his rival Sahil Siraj via a first-round knockout in their grudge match at OKTAGON 56 a few weeks back. ”Dynamite” Legierski also comes from a first round stoppage as he submitted Matous Kohout in March.

One important factor in the upcoming bout is that the Polish fighter had much longer to recover from his fight back in March. As Wanliss is big for the weight class, cutting down to 155 twice in a short time could possibly take its toll on the British KO artist.

The winner of the fight will either face Predrag Bogdanovic or Losene Keita in the semifinals.
