Artem Vakhitov (11-4, 3 KOâs) has signed a new multi-fight deal with GLORY.
The light-heavyweight prospect is one of Russiaâs top striking talents and has made his presence felt in GLORY with three wins from three outings, one of which was a body-shot stoppage which made the recent Spike TV âGLORY: Top 20 Knockoutsâ highlight show.
âVakhitov is young and very talented, a real prospect in this weight class. He shows a lot of promise for the future and we are delighted to have a new deal in place with him as we watch him develop in the GLORY light-heavyweight division,â remarked Cor Hemmers, GLORY matchmaker and Head of Talent Operations.
Vakhitov is a team mate and training partner of Artem âThe Lionâ Levin, GLORY middleweight champion and currently in California, USA working with UFC star Nick Diaz as he prepares to face former champion Anderson Silva.
Vakhitovâs next fight will be at GLORY 20: DUBAI on Friday, 3 April at the World Trade Center Dubai, where he is expected to face the Romanian champion Andrei Stoica.
