Today the final fights were confirmed for GLORY 103: Last Heavyweight Standing which will take place August 23 from the Rotterdam Ahoy in the Netherlands.
The event will notably kick-off phase two of the exciting and unpredictable Last Heavyweight Standing tournament where sixteen heavyweights will compete in head-to-head bouts. The eight winners will advance to form two four-man tournaments at an upcoming event, the two winners of which will then qualify for the end of year grand finale.
Former heavyweight title contenders and GLORY superstars Levi Rigters (19-3, 9 KO) and Jamal Ben Saddik (38-10, 29 KO) will collide in a huge showdown in the main event.
Among the other notable fights confirmed, the always exciting Ionut Iancu (31-11, 13 KO) takes on top Serbian heavyweight Rade Opacic (21-7, 16 KO), fan favourite Nabil Khachab (29-6-1, 4 KO) meets Iraj Azizpour (71-8, 28 KO) in a battle between two monster heavyweights, and the always exciting Milos Cvjeticanin (13-4, 9 KO) faces man mountain Colin George (24-13, 22 KO).
In the co-main event of the evening, Chico Kwasi (44-5-2, 23 KO) puts his GLORY welterweight world title on the line against Mehdi Ait El Hadj (35-4-2, 8 KO), who is undefeated in GLORY at 4-0.
GLORY 103 will also feature the return of Mory Kromah (34-3-1, 20 KO) who looks to build upon his insane win over Bahram Rajabzadeh at GLORY 100 which captured the attention of the Rock, Snoop Dogg, Anthony Joshua and fight fans worldwide. He takes on ‘The Gladiator’ Cristian Ristea (44-26, 13 KO).
Lastly, local rivals Don Sno (6-2, 3 KO) and Tayfun Ozcan (87-11-3, 28 KO) will settle their beef after both fighters have been vocal about the other online since their fight was announced.
