THE DRAW – 8-MAN LHW TOURNAMENT
Reigning champion Tarik Khbabez (50-10-1, 28 KO) took the first ball and challenged “our French boy” Pascal Toure (20-6, 7 KO). Toure, like all other challenged fighters that Friday afternoon, accepted the fight. Second up to challenge someone was Stefan Latescu (17-2, 8 KO), who called out #1 ranked Donegi Abena (27-10, 7 KO). On the other side of the bracket, Sergej Maslobojev (36-6, 21 KO) will fulfill his longtime wish to fight one of the Stoica brothers as he challenged Bogdan Stoica (58-13, 40 KO). That automatically matched Ibrahim El Bouni (41-9-1, 22 KO) and Bahram Rajabzadeh (67-2, 59 KO) to face off in the last quarter-final. GLORY’s 11th visit to the Rotterdam Ahoy will be kicked off by the reserve bout between Mohamed Amine (29-7, 16 KO) and debutant Cem Caceres (15-1, 12 KO).
