Joe Schilling challenges Artem Levin for middleweight title in GLORY 24 headliner

Joe Schilling's next bout will be in a kickboxing ring -- with a belt on the line.

The two-sport standout will challenge Artem Levin for the GLORY middleweight title at GLORY 24 on Oct. 9 in Denver, the organization announced Thursday. It will be a trilogy bout and rubber match between the two men.

Schilling's last two fights have been for Bellator MMA, both losses. He fell via second-round knockout against Hisaki Kato in June, which nullified his announced his appearance at Bellator MMA: Dynamite 1 on Sept. 19. Schilling was hit with a suspension from the Kansas Athletic Commission due to the KO.
