Jamal Ben Saddik is back in the ring! The Belgian-Moroccan kickboxer, 34, will face Estonian Uku Jürjendal at Glory 98, to be held on February 22 at the RTM hall in Rotterdam, as announced by the kickboxing organization.
Former challenger of world champion Rico Verhoeven, Ben Saddik has not participated in a Glory event for nearly two and a half years. He will face the number 8 in the rankings, Uku Jürjendal. The latter has been fighting for Glory since 2023 and has several KO victories to his credit, including one against Badr Hari at Glory 89 in October 2023.
Jamal Ben Saddik was suspended this year following a positive doping test. This suspension ends in January. The kickboxer has also served a six-month suspension for attempting to kick Rico Verhoeven after his fight against Nabil Khachab on March 9 in Arnhem.
