The two combatants were originally slated to duel in September, but Varga suffered an injury during training that postponed the battle. While Varga healed, Adamchuk stayed busy by toppling muay Thai champion Anvar Boynazarov.
Filling out the Glory 25 main card is a one-night, four-man welterweight contender tournament with championship implications. In the first of two semi-final bouts, Dutch Surinamese striker Murthel Groenhart (56-18-3, 32 KOs) will face off against local Italian fighter Nicola Gallo (22-9-1, 6 KO), followed by Yoann Kongolo (60-5, 45 KO) versus Karim Ghajji (93-10-1, 49 KO). The winner of the tourney will meet Glory welterweight king Nieky Holzken at Glory 26 in Amsterdam on Dec. 4.
There is no official word yet on exactly when Glory 25 will be televised in the U.S.
