Background
For the first time in over a decade, GLORY, the world’s largest kickboxing organisation, returns to Croatia.
A heavyweight bout between Antonio Plazibat and Levi Rigters was originally scheduled as the main event. However, Plazibat withdrew with an injury on August 19 and was replaced by Azerbaijan's Bahram Rajabzadeh.
The event will feature a blockbuster heavyweight showdown between the number one ranked Levi Rigters (18-2, 8 KO) and Bahram Rajabzadeh (69-3, 61 KO). The two first met in an exciting back and forth war earlier this year in the semi-finals of the GLORY Heavyweight Grand Prix. Sharing knockdowns, it was Rigters who was awarded a close decision victory. However, Bahram captured the attention of the 30,000 fans in arena and GLORY fans around the world that night.
Additionally, GLORY officials have confirmed that the fight will now be a five-round title eliminator with the winner moving to challenge ‘The King of Kickboxing’ Rico Verhoeven for the GLORY heavyweight world championship, to be announced soon.
