Great news for fight fans in the UK - tomorrow nightâs GLORY 12 NEW YORK event will be airing live on BT Sport.
Subscribers to Britainâs premier sports network can catch all the action live from Madison Square Garden.
The worldâs four top-ranked lightweights will meet in the GLORY 12 Lightweight Championship Tournament with the winner emerging with a $150,000 grand prize.
Giorgio Petrosyan (78-1-1, 35 KOâs), Robin Van Roosmalen (78-1-1, 35 KOâs), Davit Kiria (21-8, 6 KOâs) and Andy Ristie (39-3-1, 19 KOâs) are the four elite fighters battling it out in the televised tournament.
The headline fight is a West Coast vs. East Coast clash. On one side, Joe âStitch âEm Upâ Schilling (16-4, 10 KOâs), fresh off winning the GLORY 12 Middleweight Championship Tournament in his home city of Los Angeles. On the other, New York native Wayne Barrett (3-0, 3 KOâs), a former Golden Gloves boxer who has translated his extensive amateur record into a 100% KO ratio as a professional kickboxer.
Co-headlining is a heavyweight encounter between two big hitters with a record of finishing fights early. âThe Goliathâ Jamal Ben Saddik (24-3, 20 KOâs) is the second-largest fighter on the GLORY roster. He faces former professional rugby player Ben âThe Guvnorâ Edwards (35-9-3, 31 KOâs) of Australia. This one is unlikely to go the distance. GLORY debutant Edwards packs 256lbs (116kgs) into every punch and has an incredible 88% KO ratio. Every one of Ben Saddikâs five fights in GLORY has been a thriller, including his âFight of the Year 2012â contender with Errol Zimmerman at GLORY 4.
