GLORY has announced that heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven will defend his title against Antonio Plazibat at Collision 5 in 2023. More than 27,000 fans can witness this. Date and location will be announced soon.
A possible title fight has been around for a while. Actually, immediately after Alistair Overeem 's win over Badr Hari, Rico Verhoeven was challenged live. Ultimately, however, it is not Overeem but Plazibat who will enter the ring with 'The King of Kickboxing' Verhoeven during Collision 5.
Rico Verhoeven is dry
Rico Verhoeven's last title fight dates back to October 2021. Far too long ago, if you ask us. The kickboxer then took on Jamal Ben Saddik . After Rico fell early in the second round and suffered an orbital fracture, Verhoeven rallied to stop Ben Saddik late in the fight and defend his heavyweight title for the tenth time.
