On Saturday February 25, KSW will hold their first event in Czech Republic with KSW 79, at the Home Credit Arena in Liberec.
In the main event, the promotion’s heavyweight champion Phil De Fries is set to take on challenger Todd Duffee. De Fries won the title back in 2018, and will defend his strap for the eight time.
37-year-old veteran Duffee will make his promotional debut after a stint in the UFC. During his long career the American tested himself against fighters like Alistair Overeem and Frank Mir.

The card also features Swedish middleweight Andreas “Bane” Gustafsson who returns to the organization to fight David Hosek. Gustafsson made his comeback to the sport last November as he defeated Lukasz Dziudzia via a second-round TKO at Fight Club Rush 14.
Czech Republic’s own Hosek, who will make his promotional debut at KSW 79, is a formidable opponent with a pro record of 8-3-1.
