KSW 121: Vojcak wins interim heavyweight title

Overview

Heavyweight champion Phil De Fries withdrew from his scheduled rematch against Stefan Vojcak at KSW 121 in Liberec, Czech Republic, due to a cervical spine injury. This led to the restructuring of the main event into an interim heavyweight championship bout between Stefan Vojcak and Marcin Wójcik.

On the night of the event, Stefan Vojcak defeated Marcin Wójcik via technical knockout in the fourth round to become the KSW interim heavyweight champion. This victory marks a significant milestone, as Vojcak becomes the first Slovakian fighter to hold a KSW title. Other results from the KSW 121 card included Kacper Formela securing a majority decision victory over Leo Brichta in the lightweight division, Michał Michalski defeating Radosław Paczuski via first-round submission, and Dominik Zadora winning his KSW debut against Samuel Bily via unanimous decision.

Following his title win, Vojcak is scheduled to defend his interim heavyweight championship against Artur Szpilka. Szpilka reportedly pushed for this specific matchup rather than a rematch with Arkadiusz Wrzosek. The bout is set to take place on December 19 during the XTB KSW 124 event in Gliwice. This event will also feature a middleweight unification fight between Pawel Pawlaki and Piotr Kuberski.
