GLORY Light-Heavyweight Grand Prix

The historic GLORY 8-man Light-Heavyweight Grand Prix takes place on Saturday June 8 at Ahoy Rotterdam in the Netherlands.

Winning three fights in one night, against the greatest in the world, is one of the hardest feats in all of combat sports.
Eight of the division’s best fighters will compete in this thrilling Tournament, and the ultimate winner will walk away with a big cheque + the prestigious GLORY LHW Grand Prix Trophy:


In the opening fight of the Tournament, reigning GLORY Light-heavyweight world champion Tarik Khbabez (50-10-1, 28 KO) from Morocco will take on WKN champion Pascal Touré (20-6, 7 KO) from France.

In the second quarter-final, former GLORY LHW-champion Donegi Abena (27-10, 7 KO) from Suriname will face the 22-year-old Romanian Boxing-champion Ștefan Lătescu (17-2, 8 KO).

In the third quarter-final, former GLORY Light-heavyweight champion Sergej Maslobojev (38-6, 23 KO) from Lithuania will meet Romanian veteran Bogdan Stoica (58-14, 40 KO), who’s a former SUPERKOMBAT and Enfusion champion.

Lastly, Azerbaijan’s ”The Golden Wolf” Bahram Rajabzadeh (67-2, 59 KO) will slug it out with 2017 K-1 Heavyweight Grand Prix runner-up Ibrahim El Bouni (41-9-1, 22 KO) from Morocco, to complete the quarter-final brackets.

Former LHW title-challenger Mohamed Amine (KB: 29-7, 16 KO / MMA: 5-2, 4 KO) squares off against the 24-year-old newcomer Cem Caceres Aygün (15-1, 12 KO), in the Tournament reserve-bout.


Additionally, former ONE Championship heavyweight title-challenger Murat Aygün (32-3, 8 KO) from Turkey will welcome the 25-year-old Romanian DFS Heavyweight champion Ionut Iancu (28-9, 10 KO) inside the GLORY-ring.
Moroccan ‘House of Glory’ participant Soufiane-Aoulad Abdelkhalek (17-2, 9 KO) will clash with his countryman Ilyass Chakir (16-4-1, 6 KO) in an exciting Welterweight-contest, and budding French Middleweight-prospect Ramy Deghir (6-1-1, 5 KO) will face Cameroon’s Brice Kombou (18-4, 3 KO).

I expect Tyjani Beztati and Endy Semeleer to promote their upcoming Superfight on July 20, Antonio Plazibat to promote his big return-fight on September 21 (and potentially announce his opponent), and who knows what Rico Verhoeven has to say !
