All fighters under contract are subject to the GLORY Anti-Doping Rules, with testing both in and out of competition. The aim is to protect the right to doping-free sport, safeguard athletes' health and safety, and promote fair competition. Each athlete is personally responsible for what enters their body.

The program follows the prohibited list of the World Anti-Doping Agency , and samples are analyzed in WADA-accredited laboratories. Sanctions, suspensions, and the consequences for results achieved are made public.

Why this matters

Impact and meaning

Hall of Fame and the Dutch kickboxing tradition

In 2021 GLORY established its own Hall of Fame for fighters who have made an exceptional contribution to the organization and to kickboxing worldwide. The founders select one new name each year. A candidate must have retired as a GLORY fighter, have demonstrated the highest level and the values of martial arts in the ring, and have also contributed to the sport outside the ring.

Inductees include Joseph Valtellini (2021), Semmy Schilt (2022), Alex Pereira (2023) and Remy Bonjasky (2026). With Schilt and Bonjasky, the list honors two Dutch greats, underscoring the close connection between GLORY and the Dutch kickboxing tradition.
