GLORY donates lightweight champion to charity

When the Happy Hearts Fund became involved with a white-collar boxing and kickboxing event in New York, premier kickboxing league GLORY World Series turned up with a pretty unique donation: one world champion, free of charge.

And so this Wednesday night, world lightweight champion Robin van Roosmalen will take to the ring at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom for a special showcase appearance. His opponent, also provided by GLORY, is the power-punching Australian knockout merchant ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Moxon.

That's a pretty special international-level match-up for a small charity event to be hosting. Dynamite is guaranteed; Van Roosmalen is the clear favorite due to his standing and experience but Moxon is a man of instant finishes when the opening presents itself and in this fight he isn't dealing with a huge reach disadvantage as he often is.
