Rumored Rico Verhoeven vs Mick Terrill crossover-superfight (GLORY X BKFC) in the works

[BoxerMaurits]

Potential crossover-superfight between GLORY Heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven and BKFC Heavyweight champion Mick Terrill in the works

According to reliable sources, talks are underway for a crossover superfight between GLORY Heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven and BKFC Heavyweight champion Mick Terrill.

Mick Terrill defended his BKFC Heavyweight title in April against former champion Lorenzo Hunt and was slated to defend his title again later this year against UFC veteran Ben Rothwell.
However, this fight has been postponed, prompting the Bare-Knuckle Boxing champion Terrill to seek an earlier return to action.
This has led to discussions about a superfight against GLORY Kickboxing Champion Rico Verhoeven.

Rico last stepped into the ring in March, when he won the prestigious GLORY 8-man Heavyweight Grand Prix by defeating three opponents in one night.
‘The King of Kickboxing’ has been the GLORY Heavyweight Champion for over ten years and has also fought under MMA and Boxing rules in the past.
Recently, he expressed strong interest in participating in crossover-superfights against champions and stars from other combat sports disciplines, such as Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury.
His new contract with GLORY allows him to pursue these fights, and the organization is open to co-promotion. This could be a promising start to that endeavor.

Mick Terrill began his combat sports career in kickboxing and Muay Thai. He competed in the SUPERKOMBAT World Grand Prix III in 2014 and has since built a formidable reputation in bare-knuckle boxing, holding heavyweight titles with BKB and BKFC and boasting an impressive record of 10-1 (9 KO/TKO).

The negotiations are reportedly still in the early stages, so the exact rules for this fight, such as glove size, number of rounds, and location, are currently unknown.
However, it has been reported that it will be a Kickboxing match and the event is expected to take place in September.

Maurits School from the Dutch combat sports outlet MainEventNL reached out to GLORY for confirmation, and they responded with: "No comment".

Stay tuned!

Rico via smash should be a good one

 

[Marko Polo]

Bare knuckle kickboxing match

 

[xhaydenx]

Rico's a point fighter. Bare Knuckle seems like the worst possible thing he could do lol.

 

[Frode Falch]

I dont think this is gonna become a reality.

 

[Nova44]

Not even close to a super fight.

Interesting, Rico should take this one.



My favorite part of this write up is "Maurits School from the Dutch" combat sports outlet MainEventNL reached out to GLORY for confirmation, and they responded with: "No comment".

Fuck yeah lol

 

[don't ask]

Am I crazy or will this be a massacre?

 

[SalvadorAllende]

I'll allow it

Let them bang bro

I also like Rico vs Ngannou at k1 rules idea

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Am I crazy or will this be a massacre?

Depend on the rules.

I dont like Rico chances at bkfc.

 

[don't ask]

Depend on the rules.

I dont like Rico chances at bkfc.

Unrelated, does anyone know when Austin Trout is fighting in BKFC again? I was excited to see a legit boxer in the fray, but no one's talking about when he's fighting again.

https://www.krqe.com/news/community/austin-trout-to-defend-bkfc-title-in-spain/

haha no way! Awesome, thank you! I've been googling every few months or so, looks like this news is only 5 days old.

 

[KID Yamamoto]

Rico is pretty reliant on low kicks in his kickboxing game. But I still favor him here. Gonna need to keep that guard super tight in bareknuckle

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Do it in RIZIN. NYE. Bc, idk. Bc RIZIN is partnered with BKFC and will have BK fighters on their card this weekend. And, bc, it seems like a very Japan on NYE matchup.

 

[Sanctus]

I like crossover fights!
Let them bang bro

 

[Monte Moku]

For the love of god, can we just have Kickboxers fight Kickboxers, Boxers fight Boxers, and MMA fighters fight MMA fighters? There is absolutely nothing even remotely interesting about this matchup, nor any crossover bullshit matchup. The HW division in Glory has been stalling because of Rico's inactivity in the first place. Glory is finally getting some movement in the division and they want to fuck it up with a crossover fight? Whose dick do you have to suck to have elite fighters just fuckin compete in the ruleset they're best at against other elite fighters?

 

[TJ Dillashank]

I reckon Rico will KO him in the first

 

[Trabaho]

Rico easy. Bkfc too. In kickboxing not even competitive.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

In what discipline shall this fight be taking place?
