Moroccan Kickboxing Titans Return: Ben Saddik Leads Triple Threat at Glory 103

Recovered from his spectacular injury sustained at Glory 100 last June, Moroccan kickboxer Jamal Ben Saddik is preparing to return to the ring for Glory 103, scheduled for August at the Ahoy Arena (Rotterdam), in the Netherlands. His compatriots Nabil Khachab and Mehdi Ait El Hadj are also on the program.

Three Moroccan fighters on the Glory 103 card scheduled for August 23 at the Ahoy Arena. Injured in the tibia after a blocked kick, Jamal Ben Saddik (38 wins, including 29 by KO) lost his match after only 1 minute and 36 seconds, against Sofian Laïdouni at GLORY 100, last June. A defeat that dampened his hopes in the "Last Heavyweight Standing" tournament. Recovered from his injury, he is signing his return to the ring, still in the heavyweight category.

Mehdi Ait El Hadj (35–4‑2, 8 KO) will face the Glory welterweight world champion, Chico Kwasi (44–5‑2, 23 KO), who will defend his title for the fourth time. Arrived at Glory in 2024, the Franco-Moroccan has a record of 4 wins and 0 losses. He is aiming for the world title. Eliminated in the previous rounds, the Dutch-Moroccan Nabil Khachab (29 wins, 1 draw, 6 losses) is now seeking revenge.

Glory 103 represents a second chance for some fighters injured or eliminated during the "Last Heavyweight Standing" tournament in June.
