Fans on instagram recently noticed that DAZN branding has disappeared from promotional materials for GLORY’s "Last Heavyweight Standing" tournament, leading to questions about the fate of their streaming partnership. The possible end of the broadcast deal could be devastating for the organisation leaving fans to worry about its future. After reaching out to GLORY’s media team, these rumors can be laid to rest as GLORY confirms that DAZN will remain a broadcasting partner for every upcoming tournament card through the end of 2025.
GLORY STATEMENT
A GLORYs spokesperson provided the following statement to Beyond Kickboxing:
“As previously announced, GLORY 102 on August 2, GLORY 103 on August 23, and all the remaining Last Heavyweight Standing events which will culminate at the end of 2025, will be available to watch on DAZN in the Netherlands, United States, and various other regions.
Due to constant ongoing broadcast rights negotiations in various markets across the globe, we advise people to refer to glorykickboxing.com in the days & weeks leading up to an event on how to watch GLORY in their particular region.”
With this clarification, fans can rest assured that every punch, kick, and knockout will be showcased on DAZN throughout the tournament.
LAST HEAVYWEIGHT STANDING
Earlier this year, the eight‑man Grand Prix kicked off its first phase with 32 of the division’s top heavyweights. GLORY 99 opened the tournament with a single‑elimination bracket, followed by a four‑man showdown at GLORY 100. Four winners have already earned spots in the December Grand Prix—another 16 will have to walk the same road starting at GLORY 103 on August 23 to fill two additional slots, while two wildcard entries will be awarded by kickboxing’s premier promoters.
RISE CO-PROMOTION: FEATHERWEIGHT TOURNAMENT
GLORY has also joined forces with Japan’s RISE for the “Last Featherweight Standing” series. Twelve fighters from each organization will compete across six events to determine the sport’s top featherweight—all 2025 events will be included in the DAZN deal.
