New GLORY executive director, Maurice Hols, is proud to reveal exciting new plans and event layout in 2024 for GLORY – the world’s largest kickboxing organisation.
Building on the great success of 2023, GLORY will continue to bring more events to a wider international audience throughout the upcoming year.
The focus of these events will be thrilling one-night GLORY Grand Prix tournaments across the heavyweight, light heavyweight, middleweight, and welterweight divisions. This will kick-off with the eight-man one-night heavyweight Grand Prix in March and will culminate in a special end-of-year championship event.
Each GLORY event and every fight will matter. As a result, fans can expect more action, elevated storytelling, and the creation of new stars of kickboxing through these Grand Prix and special superfights.
“Kickboxing is the most exciting form of stand-up combat sports in the world and our goal is delivering the most exciting product to the fans,” said Maurice Hols, GLORY executive director. “The Grand Prix will have fans on the edge of their seats with guaranteed action & entertainment every time, in addition to improved storytelling centred around the fighters. This is part of a new long-term strategy that will help elevate the fan & viewer experience and will bring even more eyes to GLORY.”
“Grand Prix events hold a special place in the history of our sport,” said Robbie Timmers, GLORY matchmaker. “They have built stars and given fans so many enjoyable moments. Fighting three times on the same night against the best in the world is a different level in combat sports, so we will see who the world’s baddest fighters truly are.”
2023 saw the return of Rico Verhoeven along with the return and retirement of Alistair Overeem. What is next for GLORY?
