GLORY is kicking off its 2025 season in the RTM Stage in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The arena which has served as GLORY’s home base over the past years will host the return of one of kickboxing’s most notorious names as Jamal Ben Saddik faces Uku Jürjendal at GLORY 98.
The two behemoths will headline a stacked card that includes a highly anticipated Welterweight title fight between Chico Kwasi and Teodor Hristov.
CHIKH-MOUSA OUT
Ahmad Chikh Mousa, who was scheduled to fight French fighter Bobo Sacko, failed to get medically cleared for tomorrow's fight. The bout between the two featherweights has therefore been removed from the card.
This is not the first time the Kurdish-German "Golden Boy" has struggled with the featherweight limit. In half of his six GLORY appearances, Chikh Mousa failed to make weight. The 24-year-old issued an apology to the promoter and his opponent on Instagram.
