Robert Lewandowski is regarded as one of the most prolific strikers in the world right now. The Polish forward has been one of the best strikers for the past 5 years during his time at Bayern Munich and Barcelona. But it is going to be his wife, Anna Lewandowska, who we will be talking about today,
According to various reports, Anna has recently received an offer to fight in MMA. The 34-year-old recently revealed that she got an offer from Slawomir Peszko. Peszko is the owner of KSW, which is one of the biggest martial arts companies in Poland and Europe.
Fans have reacted furiously to the news after it emerged on the internet. One of the fans was worried about Anna if she joined MMA. The fans indicated that she would spoil her pretty face if she took the offer. The fan wrote: “Please ooo. Don’t spoil your pretty face”.

Anna later revealed that she rejected the offer after consulting with her husband. Robert had instantly refused Anna’s plans when he heard about them in the media.
Talking on her podcast, she said, “I left the meeting and after an hour this information appeared in the media. My husband found out from the press and asked me: ‘Anna, what are you doing? What are these things?’”
It seems like Lewandowski doesn’t want his wife to dwell on physical sports such as the MMA. It would have been interesting to see how Anna would have fared had she taken the offer from KSW.
Does Anna Lewandowska have any background in martial arts?
Lewandowski’s wife isn’t someone new to a combat sport but has already won medals in it. Anna was previously a karateka before she retired and started her business called ‘Healthy Center by Ann’.

The Polish was a great karateka and won 38 medals in different age groups during her career. She famously won the bronze at the 2009 Karate World Championships before she married Robert in 2013.
Anna currently runs her business while also being a personal trainer. It would not have been much difficult for her had she joined the MMA. But it seems like Robert doesn’t want his wife to throw her life into threatening situations.

The striker could have earned around $160 million a year had he chosen to leave Barcelona. But having just been at Barca for one season, it seems like the Polish striker wants to continue his journey and lift trophies with Barcelona.
Saudi, on the other hand, seems to be on a roll this season attracting players from Europe. They have already managed to sign Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kante and are rumored with many other European stars.
