As of Tuesday, the head games between GLORY heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven and Badr Hari are now officially underway.
Hari, 31, whose had a reputation for being kickboxing's bad boy for the majority of his career, stared long and hard at the champion throughout the GLORY: COLLISION press conference at Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Meanwhile, Verhoeven -- like usual -- remained his calm and collected self.
The fight, which takes place on Dec. 10, 2016, at Konig-Pilsener Arena in Oberhausen, Germany, was announced this past July and is being billed as the biggest heavyweight kickboxing match of all time.
