Following on from the unforgettable Last Heavyweight Standing tournament, attention now switches to the light heavyweights at GLORY 107 on April 25 from the RTM Stage in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
The vacant GLORY light heavyweight world title will be up for grabs in the main event as ‘The Golden Wolf’ Bahram Rajabzadeh (73-6, 65 KO) faces off against middleweight champ Donovan Wisse (23-1, 10 KO).
Rajabzadeh returned from a brief retirement at GLORY 105 earlier this month where he looked as dangerous and explosive as ever as he stopped Cristian Ristea in just thirty-one seconds. Now the 34-year-old KO artist has his sights set on capturing a GLORY world title that has eluded him to date.
However, after clearing out the middleweight division & breaking Alex Pereira’s defense record, Wisse has his sights now on making history and becoming double champion. The 28-year-old can become the first fighter since Pereira to simultaneously hold two belts in two divisions in GLORY.
Supporting this main event spectacle will be twelve hungry challengers all aiming to make an impact and prove themselves as worthy enough for the June Light Heavyweight Grand Prix Final.
Among them, an all-Turkish battle between KO machine Cem Caceres (19-3, 14 KO) and slugger Cihad Kepenek (23-9, 16 KO), the hard-hitting Stefan Latescu (19-6, 10 KO) meets Portuguese wonderkid Iuri Fernandes (10-2, 4 KO).
Local rivals Luis Tavares (64-11, 21 KO) and Mo Amine (30-9, 16 KO) clash, Mohammed Touchassie (19-3, 14 KO) makes his highly anticipated return against Jimmy Livinus (12-2-1, 6 KO), ‘The Beast’ Alin Nechita (19-3, 8 KO) takes on Mohammed Hamdi (21-4, 10 KO), and a yet-to-be-announced final matchup are scheduled.
