By Press Release

AMSTERDAM – An injury suffered during training has forced former welterweight champion Nieky Holzken out of the bout against Alim Nabiyev at GLORY 45 Amsterdam on Saturday, Sept. 30.

Due to the difficulty in replacing a fighter of Holzken’s caliber on short notice, the bout has been removed from the card and Nabiyev will make his GLORY debut at a future event.

The heavyweight tilt between Hesdy Gerges and Mladen Brestovac, originally scheduled as the GLORY 45 SuperFight Series headline bout, has been moved to later in the evening to serve as the co-headline bout of GLORY 45 Amsterdam.

A catchweight bout between local Muay Thai stylist Kevin Hessling (fighting out of the Netherlands) and Bulgaria’s Stoyan “The Sniper” Koprivlenski (7-0, 3 KO, fighting out of the Netherlands) has been added to GLORY 45 SuperFight Series, kicking off the night of fights.
