Polish promotion Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki will break new ground when it debuts in the Czech Republic next month.

KSW 79 will take place on Feb. 25 at the Home Credit Arena in Liberec, Czech Republic. Heavyweight champion Philip De Fries will defend his belt in the main event, while Glory Kickboxing veteran Arek Wrzosek and ex-UFC competitor Viktor Pesta are also expected to compete on the card. Opponents for all three heavyweight will be announced in the coming days.

KSW 79 marks the first time the promotion will hold an event outside of Poland since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to a release, the Czech Republic is “the first of several new territories KSW will enter throughout 2023 and 2024.”
