Khbabez vs Abena III added to COLLISION 7

GLORY Light Heavyweight World Champion Tarik Khbabez (51-11-1, 28 KO) puts his title on the line against GLORY Light Heavyweight Grand Prix winner Donegi Abena (30-10, 10 KO) in a bad blooded trilogy fight at GLORY COLLISON 7 on December 7 at the GelreDome in Arnhem, the Netherlands.

 

Each hold wins over the other with Khbabez defeating Abena by split decision at the beginning of the year and then Abena stopping Khbabez in the semi-finals of the light heavyweight Grand Prix this past summer.

 

The two rivals have engaged in a back-and-forth war of words over the past year and have had to be separated at media events. This will be one of the most intense and arguably the biggest light heavyweight title fights in kickboxing history.

 

GLORY COLLSION 7 will be headlined by the ‘King of Kickboxing’ Rico Verhoeven (64-10, 21 KO) as he puts his GLORY Heavyweight World Championship on the line against the winner of Levi Rigters and Bahram Rajabzadeh, who face-off in the main event of GLORY 95 on September 21.

 

Additionally, local rivals Tayfun Ozcan (87-10-3, 28 KO) and Younes Smaili (41-3, 19 KO) will finally square-off at COLLISION 7 in a highly anticipated clash they and fans have all been calling for.
