AMSTERDAM – GLORY, the world’s premier stand-up combat league, today announced the finalized five-fight preliminary card slated to precede GLORY 54 Birmingham and GLORY 54 SuperFight Series on Saturday, June 2.
In the evening’s most anticipated preliminary bout, ISKA European titleholder Nicola Kaye (14-2-2, 4 KO, fighting out of England), ranked No. 1 in the UK at 52.5 kg, journeys up in weight for a super fight showdown against 25-year-old Christi Brereton (19-6-1, 7 KO, fighting out of England), also ranked No. 1 in her respective weight class of 55 kg.
Plus, Liverpool’s Kevin Ward (41-10-1, 13 KO, fighting out of England) and Portugal’s Wilker “The Black Panther” Barros (15-5-2, 6 KO, fighting out of England), ranked No. 1 and No 2 respectively in the UK at 70 kg, meet in a clash of Muay Thai styles.
