GLORY 100 to Feature Four Title Fights & Four One Night Tournaments
By FCF Staff
GLORY has announced that the kickboxing promotion’s 100th event on June 14th will feature four title fights, as well as four tournaments to determine who qualifies for the Last Heavyweight Standing finals. Initially, the card was planned to take place over two days.
Headlining the event will be a heavyweight fight between champion Rico Verhoeven and former light-heavyweight champ, Artem Vakhitov.
In a press release from the promotion, Marshall Zelaznik, GLORY CEO, was quoted saying:
“We’ve listened to the fans and decided to bring everything together into one major event. It was clear that our fans were put in the position of having to choose between events and, frankly, it was an expensive proposition to ask them to engage on two nights with GLORY 100. With the new format, it allows everyone to experience the full scope of GLORY 100 in a single night – whether they’re attending live or watching from home. It’s a way to mark this milestone in the sport’s history with ensuring all of our fans can enjoy all the great fights and fighters on one great event. After all, this a celebration of our great sport, fighters, and fans.”
The pay-per-view event will be streamed via DAZN.
Here is the complete line-up for the upcoming event.
