TWO HEAVYWEIGHT CLASHES ADDED FOR GLORY 96

Two heavyweights clashes have been added to the GLORY 96’s card this tuesday. We are less than two months away from GLORY’s return to the Netherlands and the action will be packed on October 12 live from the RTM Stage in Rotterdam. 

Romanian Powerhouse Ionut Iancu (29-9, 11 KO) is looking to defend his spot in the GLORY rankings against the experienced Cihad Kepenek (23-6, 16 KO). The Turkish fighter has not appeared in the GLORY ring since the GLORY Grand Prix in march and his win by TKO against Michal Blawdziewic (11-7, 5 KO). Iancu impressed the masses in June when he knocked out the very tough Murat Aygun (32-4, 8 KO) in spectacular fashion. His prowess in the ring combined with his cheerful personality immediately caught the fan’s attention and they’ve been looking forward to seeing more of him inside and outside the ring. Cihad arrives in Rotterdam riding a 2 fights win streak and he is looking to get a number next to his name. With 27 finishes combined between those two, the RTM Stage’s crowd is going to feel the heat around this fight. 

Speaking of making a good impression in your debut, Asdren Gashi (17-4, 8 KO) is making a quick turnaround after his impressive win over Fabrice Gnedre (25-4, 14 KO) in July. Gashi will face Colin George (23-11, 21 KO) who was his original opponent for GLORY 93. With over 90 % of his wins coming by way of knockouts, it’s safe to say that Colin will be looking for the finish. At 2,06 meters and 134 kilos, The Beast is a fitting nickname for the Surinamese who will have to deal with Gashi’s relentless pressure. The young Albanian will be looking to make it 2 for 2 in 2024 and this fight is another guaranteed barn burner on an already very stacked card. 

GLORY 96 will be available to watch live exclusively on Videoland in the Netherlands, DAZN in France & Belgium, and Bally Live & Stadium across the United States & Canada. Please check GLORYKickboxing.com for full global broadcast information.
