A new era for GLORY, the world’s largest kickboxing organisation, will kick-off on February 7 at the GelreDome soccer stadium in Arnhem, the Netherlands, as eight of the best & most exciting stand-up strikers on the planet collide in an unmissable one-night tournament to crown a new GLORY heavyweight world champion.
Following injuries sustained this week, Michael Boapeah (23-5-1, 29 KO) steps up from the reserve bout to replace Antonio Plazibat against ‘The Black Ghost’ Mory Kromah (35-3-1, 21 KO) and Tariq Osaro (29-4-1, 16 KO) will now meet Nidal Bchiri (20-5-1, 5 KO) after original opponent Nico Horta was forced to withdraw.
On the other side of the bracket, Anis Bouzid (48-4, 37 KO) takes on the legendary Errol Zimmerman (112-20-1, 45 KO) and GLORY’s ‘2025 Fighter of the Year’ Milos Cvjeticanin (17-5, 10 KO) meets French tactician Sofian Laidouni (42-5-1, 20 KO).
Two new fighters will now compete in the Last Heavyweight Standing tournament reserve bout. Turkey’s Serdar ‘The Killer’ Uroglu (23-3, 10 KO) takes on Romania’s Vasile Amaritei (13-4-1, 6 KO) with the winner qualifying themselves to potentially enter the finals later in the night.
In the co-main event of the evening, ‘The Golden Wolf’ Bahram Rajabzadeh (72-6, 64 KO) recently announced that he will return from retirement and will face ‘The Gladiator’ Christian Ristea (44-27, 13 KO).
Elsewhere on the main card, Moroccan star Hamicha (42-2, 31 KO) puts his six-fight undefeated GLORY record on the line against ‘The Caledonian Fighter’ Cedric Do (49-7-1, 29 KO).
The GLORY 105 Superfight Series will feature four fights and be headlined by a hard-hitting contest between Luis Tavares (64-10, 21 KO) and Alin Nechita (18-3, 7 KO). KO artist Stefan Latescu (18-6, 9 KO) returns against the debuting Enrico Pelligrino (28-3-1, 9 KO), featherweights Andre Santos (23-2, 10 KO) and Deniz Demirkapu (14-5, 10 KO), and newcomers Mohammed Hamdi (20-4, 10 KO) & Emin Ozer (1-0) meet, and round out the action.
