Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki (KSW) has released the latest episode of its international documentary series “Focus,” this time highlighting the remarkable reign of longtime heavyweight champion Phil De Fries.
Episode two of the series takes viewers inside the life and mindset of the dominant champion as he prepares for his next title defense at XTB KSW 117.
Inside the Champion’s Training Camp
The episode follows De Fries in Seaham, near Sunderland, England, where he trains at TFT MMA. Cameras capture the heavyweight champion during a morning sparring session before he reflects on the defining moments of his historic title run.
During the episode, De Fries revisits several of the victories that have helped shape what has become one of the most dominant championship reigns in modern mixed martial arts.
Over the past eight years, the British fighter has compiled 13 successful KSW heavyweight title defenses, establishing himself as the most dominant champion in the promotion’s history.

XTB KSW 117 Set for Warsaw
De Fries’ story continues on April 18 when XTB KSW 117 takes place in Warsaw, Poland, with two world championship bouts headlining the card.
In the main event, Polish MMA legend Mamed Khalidov (38-8-2) returns to challenge Paweł Pawlak (25-4-1) for the KSW Middleweight Championship.
Meanwhile, in the co-main event, De Fries (28-6) looks to extend his incredible reign by securing a record-setting 14th title defense when he faces heavy-hitting contender Marcin Wójcik (22-10).
If successful, De Fries would further cement his legacy as one of the most dominant heavyweight champions in European MMA history.
