Enfusion is a kickboxing promotion and a reality style TV show in which the contestants from different countries compete for cash prizes in the finals. Enfusion is dedicated to enhancing female athletes in the sport of kickboxing, as the coaches are females which will then compete in the finals for cash prizes. Each season is a new competition, with different weight categories and new fighters. Each episode is set up to learn about each fighter, as they undertake small tasks in order to gain an advantage for their fight. At minimum one fighter is eliminated in each episode. As the series draws to an end, the athletes are brought to the final 4 which compete in the final tournament.
In this Season 1, 18 professional fighters from all around the world were gathered on the heavenly highland of Koh Samui, Thailand. They were divided into four teams chosen and led by four female captains. They had to prove they are the best in the discipline against the three other teams composed of current top challengers in the 70MAX weight category. Final four fighters were: Pajonsuk, Gago Drago, Rick Barnhill and Armen Petrosyan and they fought in Lisbon. Pajonsuk defeated Armen Petrosyan by extra round decision, Gago Drago defeated Rick Barnhill by second-round knockout. Gago Drago became champion, defeating Pajonsuk in the finals by judges decision.
For its second season, Enfusion introduced the 95MAX division. Once again, the contestants had to train during the whole season on the island of Koh Samui, Thailand. They lived, dieted and trained together in the Super Pro Samui bootcamp. Final four fighters were: Mohamed Boubkari, Frank Munoz, Ondřej Hutník and Wendell Roche and they fought in Prague. Ondřej Hutník defeated Mohamed Boubkari by decision, Frank Munoz defeated Wendell Roche by decision. Ondřej Hutník became champion, defeating Frank Munoz in the finals by judges' decision.
For the third season, fighters from 18 different countries had to compete in the new installations of Ohrid, Macedonia. The category was new: 85MAX. The team composition and the matchmaking was determined by challenges.
