GLORY 12 New York - Live on BT Sport

  • Nov 21, 2013

Great news for fight fans in the UK - tomorrow night’s GLORY 12 NEW YORK event will be airing live on BT Sport.

Subscribers to Britain’s premier sports network can catch all the action live from Madison Square Garden.

The world’s 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 KO’s), Robin Van Roosmalen (78-1-1, 35 KO’s), Davit Kiria (21-8, 6 KO’s) and Andy Ristie (39-3-1, 19 KO’s) 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 ‘Stitch ‘Em Up’ Schilling (16-4, 10 KO’s), 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 KO’s), 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. ‘The Goliath’ Jamal Ben Saddik (24-3, 20 KO’s) is the second-largest fighter on the GLORY roster. He faces former professional rugby player Ben ‘The Guvnor’ Edwards (35-9-3, 31 KO’s) 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 Saddik’s five fights in GLORY has been a thriller, including his ‘Fight of the Year 2012’ contender with Errol Zimmerman at GLORY 4.

The GLORY 12 NEW YORK action commences at 2am GMT (Sunday morning). In the meantime, check out our YouTube channel for all the pre-fight interviews and previews, plus numerous free fights from our archive.
