Rico Verhoeven will face Jamal Ben Saddik in his first fight since the corona outbreak. The world title in the heavyweight of kickboxing association GLORY is at stake.
The date and place of the title fight are still unknown. GLORY hopes to clarify after Badr Hari and Benjamin Adegbuyi’s fight.
The two heavyweights will compete against each other in Rotterdam on November 7. Due to corona measures, there will be no audience here.
This will be GLORY’s first event since the corona outbreak. The kickboxing association is in dire straits financially and several top men have left.
Due to the dire financial situation, Talpa canceled the television contract with GLORY. On Thursday, the union reports that it has concluded an agreement with Spike. This channel will broadcast the fights on its website.
Verhoeven and Ben Saddik face each other for the third time
For Verhoeven it will be his first fight since December last year. Then he won in the sold-out GelreDome against Hari, who was winning but had to give up with an injury.
It will be the third time that 31-year-old Verhoeven and 30-year-old Ben Saddik face each other. In the beginning of their professional career, the Moroccan-Belgian kickboxer was too strong for the Brabander in a fight in Amsterdam.
Verhoeven took revenge in 2017 by knocking out Ben Saddik in the fifth round in Rotterdam. This fight was one of nine duels in which Verhoeven successfully defended his world title.
Verhoeven has been world champion at GLORY since 2014. Ben Saddik, who trains in Breda, won a tournament with eight heavyweights in December 2018, after which GLORY promised him another title fight.
