Who will compete against Verhoeven in the final? This could be 25-year-old Levi Riggers or 28-year-old Tariq Khabbeez. Rigters debuted at GLORY last month and is considered one of kickboxing’s greatest talents. The 28-year-old Khabeez is also a newcomer to GLORY. Khabbeez, who lives in The Hague, came from the ONE Championship Federation at the end of last year, which is basically a big association in Asia.
The two often argued with each other, but right after the fight, respect for each other is shown. “I always thought you were a great man and you were the best,” Gerges says. Verhoeven replies: “Respect is mutual, you stand there today and I think that’s really cool.”

2/3 Verhoeven takes a good low kick and stuns his opponent. Gerges falls, but wakes up almost instantly to respond.
End of round 1/3 Gentlemen show respect for each other at the end of the first round of boxing. During the fight, it wasn’t really loose yet, because it’s a lot like chess in the ring.
