Rico vs Jamal: inside battle of giants
It’s the biggest kickboxing fight of 2017 and fans of top-level striking around the world are paying close attention to it.
On the one side Rico Verhoeven, the most dominant champion in the history of heavyweight kickboxing. Standing opposite him is Jamal Ben Saddik, who at 6’9” and 260bs (120kgs) is literally the biggest fighter on the GLORY roster.
Not only is Ben Saddik the biggest heavyweight kickboxer in GLORY, he’s also one of the few to hold a win over Verhoeven. It came back in 2011, a second-round TKO scored in the Moroccan’s pro-debut , and he’s confident he can repeat the feat this Saturday night and ripped the world heavyweight title away in the process.
