The GLORY 2025 calendar will kick-off with a stacked GLORY 98 card on February 22 at the RTM Stage in Rotterdam.
We will see the highly anticipated return of Jamal Ben Saddik (36-9, 29 KO) against Estonian power puncher Uku Jurjendal (20-9, 16 KO) in the main event while GLORY welterweight world champion Chico Kwasi (43-5-1, 23 KO) is set to defend his title against number two ranked welterweight Teodor Hristov (18-3, 7 KO) in the co-main event.
Recently, more exciting fights were added to the first fight card of the year. Two of 2024’s best discoveries will clash as Cem Caceres (18-1, 14 KO) meets Mory Kromah (31-2-1, 18 KO) in a huge light heavyweight contest. Both fighters went 3-0 in their debut year in GLORY in 2024 and now cross paths on February 22.
Middleweight standout Michael Boapeah (19-4-1, 7 KO) ventures up to light heavyweight for the first time and will face top ten ranked Ibrahim El Bouni (42-10-1, 22 KO). Boapeah cites wanting to stay active and challenge himself while he waits for a potential title rematch with middleweight champ Donovan Wisse as the reason for stepping up. El Bouni is coming in off a victory over veteran Bogdan Stoica at GLORY 96 this past October.
Among the additional fights added, the explosive Andre Santos (22-2, 10 KO) meets German veteran Chris Wunn (35-6-1, 14 KO), number four ranked Robin Ciric (23-8, 7 KO) faces the in-form Mehdi Ait El Hadj (34-4-2, 8 KO), and Denis Wosik (39-9-1, 9 KO) welcomes France’s Matthan Choinard (25-6-1, 11 KO).
