GLORY has announced a new long-term agreement with featherweight champion Petchpanomrung “The Professor” Kiatmookao.
The organisation’s CEO Marshall Zelaznik was really happy with that fact:
“GLORY is where Petch belongs,” said Zelaznik.
“Not only is he the world featherweight champion, he also features strongly in the pound-for-pound conversation, so we’re delighted to have signed him to this new deal. Petch is out there finishing world-class opponents and, when he’s not finishing them, he’s winning unanimously on the scorecards,” the CEO added.

Petchpanomrung himself said he was happy with the new deal and that he would defend his belt again soon:
“Being champion is changing my life and the lives of my family and I’m not letting that be taken away from me by anyone. I started 2019 as the GLORY featherweight world champion and it’s staying that way, this year and for many years to come.”
Petchpanomrung (162-36-2) debuted at GLORY 35.
