AMSTERDAM — You couldn't have picked a more scenic, yet strangely tense, spot for a fight preview. On Tuesday, GLORY Heavyweight Champion Mory Kromah and his top challenger, Miloš Cvjetićanin, went toe-to-toe for a face-off on a boat cruising down the Amsterdam canals. And just to make the moment even more surreal? Boxing legend Mike Tyson was right there in the middle, keeping the two giants apart. The calm vibes on the water were a total contrast to the absolute chaos everyone expects this Saturday when they step into the ring at GLORY COLLISION 9 inside the Rotterdam Ahoy.
For the champ, Kromah, this fight is personal. He won the vacant title back in February at GLORY 105 after surviving a brutal Last Heavyweight Standing tournament. But that win came with a bit of a question mark.
Cvjetićanin had fought his way to the final right alongside Kromah, despite breaking his toe in his very first match of the night. Unfortunately, the doctors stepped in and wouldn't let the Serbian powerhouse fight in the finals, giving Kromah a bit of a free pass to the belt.
These two have history, too. Kromah won a super close decision against Cvjetićanin late in 2024 at COLLISION 7. Now, Cvjetićanin is fully healed, highly motivated, and looking to take back the title he feels injury stole from him. With "Iron Mike" watching their every move on Tuesday, the message was clear: when the bell rings in Rotterdam this Saturday, the talking is over.
