GLORY 85 Four-Man Heavyweight Tournament Announced

The four participants of the GLORY 85 heavyweight tournament were announced today at a press conference in Amsterdam.

The Netherlands’ Luis Tavares (63-8, 21 KO), Enver Sljivar (40-6, 23 KO) of Bosnia & Herzegovina, Nigeria’s Tariq Osaro (21-2-1, 10 KO), and France’s Nordine Mahieddine (27-14, 12 KO) will all go head-to-head in a four-man one-night tournament with the opportunity to face Antonio Plazibat for the interim-GLORY heavyweight championship this summer.

If that wasn’t enough, the winner of the GLORY 85 heavyweight tournament will also be awarded a coveted spot in the historic 8-Man GLORY Heavyweight Grand Prix, scheduled for this December, where the winner will win $500,000.

All four fighters came face to face at the press conference which was crashed by Antonio Plazibat. In typical fashion, the Croatian joined all the athletes on stage where he exchanged some heated words and shared his excitement at facing the winner.
