The GLORY 43 SuperFight Series headliner will be a battle of top-ranked light-heavyweights.

Former GLORY light-heavyweight champion Saulo Cavalari (60-5), now ranked No.4 in the division, will be facing Pavel Zhuravlev (70-11), who is currently ranked No.2. The promotion announced the news via press release on Wednesday.

GLORY 43 and the GLORY 43 Superfight Series will both take place on July 14 at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City, N.Y.

In his most recent outing, Cavalari got dismantled by current champion, Artem Vakhitov at GLORY 38, losing by TKO in the second round. Meanwhile, Zhuravlev is coming off a first-round TKO over Zinedine Hameur-Lain at GLORY 35.

In the co-main event, Bailey Sugden will now face Arthur Sorsor, who steps in for the injured Chris Mauceri.
