GLORY 77 Preview and Predictions
January 25, 2021
GLORY Kickboxing will host its first event of 2021, GLORY 77, from the Rotterdam Ahoy in the Netherlands on Saturday, Jan. 30.
The event was originally slated to feature four title fights, but an injury to heavyweight contender Jamal Ben Saddik forced the promotion to get creative. Rather than find a late-replacement challenger for heavyweight kingpin Rico Verhoeven, the company opted to put together a four-man tournament that includes the champ, along with former Enfusion titleholder Levi Rigters, former K-1 staple Hesdy Gerges, and recent ONE title challenger Tarik Khbabez.
In addition to the tournament, belts will be on the line in the light-heavyweight, welterweight, and women’s super-bantamweight divisions.
GLORY 77: Rico vs Jamal
GLORY 77: Rico vs Jamal takes place behind closed doors at a studio location in Holland on Saturday, January 30 (Sunday, January 31 in Australia). The event is held with no fans in attendance, meaning there is no tickets to witness the show at the venue. Nevertheless, kickboxing devotees can watch the fight card live on pay-per-view, featuring four championship bouts. The lineup has been finalized.
