After more than a year away, reigning GLORY heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven returns to the ring at GLORY Collision 6 live this Saturday. The ‘King of Kickboxing’ spent some time on the sidelines after suffering a knee injury ahead of his eleventh scheduled defense against Antonio Plazibat. An interim championship was created, which Plazibat and Tariq Osaro vied for at GLORY Collision 5 this past June. ‘Cookie’ finished Plazibat via fifth-round TKO, setting up a unification against Verhoeven.
Prior to his injury, Verhoeven extended his win streak to sixteen with a fifth-round finish of Hesdy Gerges. He hopes to go for seventeen in a row against Osaro, who is ready to upset the champion.
