GLORY Light Heavyweight World Champion Tarik Khbabez (51-11-1, 28 KO) is set to defend his title in an intense trilogy bout against GLORY Light Heavyweight Grand Prix winner Donegi Abena (30-10, 10 KO) at GLORY COLLISION 7, taking place on December 7 at the GelreDome in Arnhem, Netherlands.

This heated rivalry has seen each fighter claim a victory over the other, with Khbabez taking a split decision win earlier this year, and Abena scoring a stoppage in the Grand Prix semi-finals this past summer. The tension between the two has been palpable, with fiery exchanges in the media, escalating to the point where they had to be separated at press events.

Their upcoming clash is shaping up to be one of the biggest and most anticipated light heavyweight title fights in kickboxing history.

GLORY COLLISION 7 will also feature the highly anticipated heavyweight title defense of Rico Verhoeven, the ‘King of Kickboxing,’ against the winner of the Levi Rigters vs. Bahram Rajabzadeh matchup at GLORY 95.

Additionally, local favorites Tayfun Ozcan (87-10-3, 28 KO) and Younes Smaili (41-3, 19 KO) will finally settle their rivalry in a thrilling showdown fans have been eagerly awaiting.

Tickets for GLORY COLLISION 7 are now available, and the event will be streamed live on platforms like Videoland, DAZN, Bally Live, and Stadium.
