Moroccan kickboxing star Jamal Ben Saddik will step in to fight Dutch Rico Verhoeven for the Glory Heavyweight title on October 23.

Ben Saddik and Verhoeven have already faced each other twice.

In 2011, Moroccan Jamal won by TKO (sponge throwing) in the second round in the Netherlands. And at Glory 49, Rico managed to take his revenge and win by a head kick during the 5th round.

Since his loss against Verhoeven, Ben Saddik has won four times straight.

Initially planned, Jamal Ben Seddik was scheduled to meet Romanian kickboxer Benjamin Adegbuyi, who previously defeated Moroccan star Badr Hari in a Glory match.

The decision now makes Ben Saddik face Verhoeven while Adegbuyi to face the Croatian KICKBOXER Antonio Plazibat.

The match taking place in the 23rd of October in the Netherlands at the GelreDome will either grant the Moroccan star Ben Seddik another win or scatter the way for Verhoeven to record another win.
