While exact details of the entire event have yet to be ironed out, Glory revealed that its massive year-end event will be headlined by its reigning heavyweight champion when Rico Verhoeven takes on old rival Jamal Ben Saddik.
Ben Saddik earned his crack at the champ’s throne by reigning supreme at Glory 39 by conquering Guto Inocente. The Belgium-born knockout artist has won six of his last seven, with four coming via stoppage. Ben Saddik (32-6, 26 KOs) was originally slated to face Verhoeven in May, but “Goliath” suffered an injury in training, thus postponing their showdown.
A host locale, as well as additional bouts and exact date for the event will be announced in the coming weeks.
