Background
A heavyweight bout between former K-1 Heavyweight Champion Antonio Plazibat and former two-time K-1 World Grand Prix finalist and SUPERKOMBAT star Raul Cătinaș was booked as the main event. Cătinaș returned in 2021 after a 6-year hiatus.
The event was co-headlined by a vacant Glory Welterweight Championship bout between Alim Nabiev and Endy Semeleer, who were the second and third ranked divisional contenders respectively when the fight was announced.
GLORY, the world’s largest kickboxing organization, announced the complete GLORY 82 fight card, taking place at the Maritim Hotel in Bonn, Germany on November 19th.
The event will be headlined by an exhilarating heavyweight matchup between No. 1 ranked contender Antonio Plazibat and No. 10 ranked contender Raul Catinas. With three knockout victories in his last three fights, Plazibat has solidified his status as one of the most devastating finishers in the sport. He will look to continue his dominance against Catinas, a veteran of the division known for his durability and power punches.

Opening the GLORY 82 main card, No. 2 ranked middleweight contender Serkan Ozcaglayan will make a quick turn around after competing at COLLISION 4 less than two weeks ago. He will look to get back on the winning track against former Middleweight Title Challenger Juri De Sousa.
