Kickboxer Levi Rigters is one of the two main fights of the evening during Glory 80. The resident of Amsterdam will face the biggest challenge of his career so far on Saturday 19 March in Jamal Ben Saddik. “If I win this match, I will come very close to my dream.”
For Rigters, the number four in the heavyweight ranking, the upcoming fight is by far the most important and biggest duel of his career. Ben Saddik has been at the top for years and was close to a victory over reigning champion Rico Verhoeven in October.
“Everyone knows about Ben Saddik that his coverage and condition are not good”
The 26-year-old Rigters is not yet awake about the importance of his party against Ben Saddik. In the event of a defeat against ‘The Goliath’, Rigters is expected to have to wait longer for a match against reigning world champion Rico Verhoeven. First of all, Rigters is confidently going into the duel against Ben Saddik and has already mapped out his opponent’s weaknesses.
Sayings Remy Bonjasky
Former kickboxing champion Remy Bonjasky looked beyond Rigters’ fight against Ben Saddik this week. Bonjasky advised Rigters not to immediately go for a title fight with Rico Verhoeven after a possible victory over Ben Saddik. Rigters, on the other hand, does not want to deviate from his goal: to be world champion before he is 28 years old.
