Badr Hari, one of the most renowned kickboxers in the world, will rejoin the world of professional fighting to compete in a highly touted match against rival James McSweeney in a much-anticipated event scheduled for September 9th. The sports world has been reeling since announcements concerning the event was made public by GLORY officials. GLORY officials had revoked this game’s result to a non-contest after outlawing the use of over-the-counter steroids.
As a result of this decision, Badr Hari seeks redemption with his latest match and an opportunity to add another win to his celebrated career. Badr Hari’s detractors go as far as to say that he is still regarded as one of the best in his field, even at his advanced age in the sport, and is sure to put in an intense performance against his opponent in September.
Also, the 42-year old McSweeney is preparing for the showdown with Hari, looking to continue his winning run after his successful switch from MMA to kickboxing. McSweeney’s career thus far has seen him battle some of the most prominent fighters globally, including stints in ONE Championship, UFC, and KSW.
The fighting spectacle is scheduled to be held in France, at The Dome De Paris, marking GLORY’s first event to take place there since 2019. The expectation for the event from fans is high, and GLORY officials will undoubtedly spare no expense as they try to put together an exciting and exhilarating set of fights. The organizers have yet to reveal further details about the event fully, but avid fans of the sport are eagerly waiting for the formal announcement expected during the GLORY 86 card from Germany.
