Chaos complete at Glory: after Tavares, Vakhitov now also refuses to fight | Sport

Brave substitute Khbabez big loser: ‘It’s a shame’

–

AMSTERDAM – The title fight between Luis Tavares and light heavyweight champion Artem Vakhitov was canceled on Friday, because the Dutchman suddenly had no appetite to play against the Russian during Glory80. This is because of the war in Ukraine. Vakhitov was then paired up with heavyweight Tarik Khbabez (on an intermediate weight), but just 24 hours later, the kickboxer from Moscow has suddenly decided to withdraw as well. The chaos surrounding the already much-discussed party is now complete.
