Countdown to GLORY 26 Amsterdam

GLORY, the world’s premier kickboxing league, today announced broadcast details for “Countdown to GLORY 26 Amsterdam,” an hour-long special previewing the organization’s year-end show coming up on Friday, Dec. 4.

“Countdown to GLORY 26 Amsterdam” transports us to the Netherlands for never-before-seen interviews with the top-ranked kickboxers as they prepare for two world title fights, including a glimpse of their training in the lead-up to fight week.

To set the scene, viewers will also see Dutch-Surinamese striker Murthel “The Predator” Groenhart compete and win twice during the one-night, four-man Welterweight Contender Tournament at GLORY 25 Milan, securing his opportunity to face GLORY Welterweight World Champion Nieky “The Natural” Holzken for kickboxing’s most prestigious title. Next, a look at Holzken’s most recent win over Raymond Daniels will set the table for the long-awaited rematch with Groenhart in Amsterdam.

Followed by a replay of the first bout between Romanian powerhouse Benjamin “Mister Gentleman” Adegbuyi and GLORY Heavyweight World Champion Rico “The Prince of Kickboxing” Verhoeven, offering a look inside GLORY 26’s second title fight before they do battle again next month.
