Background
The card was initially planned as a two day event but was later changed to a single event.
Glory 100 will feature bouts in the Qualification Round for the 2025 Glory Last Heavyweight Standing tournament.
Tarik Khbabez defends his Light Heavyweight title against former Light Heavyweight champion Sergej Maslobojev, Petpanomrung Kiatmuu9 defends his Featherweight title against Miguel Trindade, Donovan Wisse defends his title in a rematch against Michael Boapeah.
Rico Verhoeven defends his Heavyweight title against former Light Heavyweight champion Artem Vakhitov in the main event.
An iconic duel of the legends will headline GLORY 100 as ‘The King of Kickboxing’ Rico Verhoeven (65-10, 21 KO) puts his GLORY heavyweight world championship on the line against the most successful light heavyweight champion in GLORY history, & the last man to beat Alex Pereira in GLORY, Artem Vakhitov (22-6, 8 KO).
Unfinished business will be settled in the co-main event as Tarik Khbabez (52-11-1, 28 KO) defends his GLORY light heavyweight world championship against longtime rival & former champ Sergej Maslobojev (41-7, 25 KO).
GLORY middleweight world champion Donovan Wisse (22-1, 10 KO) aims to make history & break Alex Pereira’s middleweight title defense record when he takes on the surging Michael Boapeah (21-4-1, 9 KO) in what is a rematch years in the making.
Behind Verhoeven, Thailand’s Petch (173-40-3, 27 KO) is the second longest reigning champion in the history of GLORY. Challenging him for the GLORY featherweight world championship is the division’s most explosive striker, Miguel Trindade (62-7, 27 KO). This is their rematch of their razor thin GLORY x RISE Grand Prix final from December.
In addition, GLORY 100 features the next round of the GLORY Last Heavyweight Standing tournament. Sixteen heavyweights are separated into four different one-night tournaments, the winner of each will qualify for the massive end of year grand finale to decide who will be the Last Heavyweight Standing.
Among the entrants involved are; ‘The Goliath’ Jamal Ben Saddik (38-9, 29 KO), number one French heavyweight Sofian Laidouni (38-4-1, 19 KO), former interim-champ Tariq Osaro (27-4-1, 14 KO), ‘The Golden Wolf’ Bahram Rajabzadeh (71-4, 63 KO), ‘The Black Ghost’ Mory Kromah (32-3-1, 19 KO), ‘Big Sexy’ Nico Horta (24-10, 4 KO), and rising star Cem Caceres (19-1, 14 KO) will step in to replace Tomas Mozny against the wild Milos Cvjeticanin (12-3, 8 KO) in their group.
