Heavyweight kickboxer Jamal Ben Saddik was sentenced to four years in prison on December 9, 2025, by an Antwerp criminal court for his leadership role in the kidnapping of a dockworker. The court found the 34-year-old fighter to be the “driving force” behind the July 2024 abduction, which prosecutors linked to a failed drug extraction operation at the Port of Antwerp. This verdict marks the second major criminal conviction for the GLORY heavyweight in less than six months, following a money laundering sentence handed down in June.
