GLORY 28 in Paris slated for March 12, Rico Verhoeven vs Mladen Brestovac to headline

Kickboxing fans will always have Paris.

On Tuesday afternoon (Feb. 2, 2016) GLORY, the world's leading kickboxing promotion, announced it will head to "The City of Light" for GLORY 28 on March 12, 2016.

The fight card will feature three title fights and will be headlined by a heavyweight championship bout between current champion, Rico Verhoeven (47-10) and No. 3-ranked contender, Mladen Brestovac (49-10-1).

Verhoeven recently defended his title at GLORY 26 this past December, knocking out Benjamin Adegbuyi in the first round. "The Prince of Kickboxing" has now defended his title three straight time since defeating Daniel Ghita at GLORY: "Last Man Standing" to win it back in June of 2014.
