GLORY 83: Two world titles on the line, the return of Jaraya

GLORY 83 takes place at the Grugahalle in Essen, Germany on February 11, 2022.

Headlining GLORY 83 is a Light Heavyweight Title Bout between Champion Sergej Maslobojev and top ranked contender Donegi Abena.

In the co-main event, Middleweight Champion Donovan Wisse will defend his belt against the no. 1 ranked Cesar Almeida.

Also featured on the card will be the return of fan favorite Mohammed Jaraya. The event will mark Jaraya’s first appearance inside the GLORY since December of 2019. He will meet Chris Wunn in a catchweight bout.

In the middleweight division, top-five contenders Serkan Ozcaglayan and Sergej Braun will meet in a bout with potential title implications on the line. Ozcaglayan is coming off a TKO victory over Juri De Sousa at GLORY 82, while Braun put together a nearly flawless promotional debut at COLLISION 4, where he defeated Michael Boapeah.

Additionally, No. 2 lightweight contender Guerric Billet will fight the division’s no. 5 contender Cihad Akipa, and promotional newcomers Uku Jürjendal and Nabil Khachab will clash in a heavyweight match. Plus, Jos Van Belzen will square off against Robin Ciric in a welterweight contest.
