A new era in heavyweight kickboxing will officially begin this Saturday, February 7, as GLORY Kickboxing crowns a new heavyweight world champion during GLORY 105: Last Heavyweight Standing Finals at the iconic GelreDome in Arnhem, the Netherlands.
Eight of the most dangerous and electrifying heavyweights on the planet are set to collide in a one-night tournament that will determine who earns the right to be called the new “King of Kickboxing.” With the vacant GLORY Heavyweight World Title on the line, careers, legacies, and pride hang in the balance.
Tension Peaks at Amsterdam Press Conference
The intensity reached a boiling point on Wednesday afternoon in Amsterdam, where all eight finalists came face-to-face at a heated pre-fight press conference. Verbal jabs were exchanged, tempers flared, and rivalries intensified as the fighters looked ahead to the biggest night of their professional lives.
Quarterfinal Matchups Set the Stage
The Last Heavyweight Standing Finals kick off with four explosive quarterfinal bouts:
Anis Bouzid (48-4, 37 KO), the Belgian-Moroccan powerhouse, squares off with legendary knockout artist Errol Zimmerman (112-20-1, 45 KO).
Serbian wrecking machine Milos Cvjeticanin (17-5, 10 KO) faces France’s top-ranked heavyweight Sofian Laidouni (42-5-1, 20 KO) in a clash of precision and power.
Fan favorite Tariq “Cookie” Osaro (29-4-1, 16 KO) collides with the relentless Nidal “The Soldier” Bchiri (20-5-1, 5 KO).
Bitter rivals Mory “The Black Ghost” Kromah (35-3-1, 21 KO) and Michael “Timebomb” Boapeah (23-5-1, 29 KO) finally settle the score inside the ring.
Only one will survive the gauntlet and leave Arnhem wearing GLORY gold.
