Featherweight Contender Tournament Participants Announced for GLORY 39 Brussels on Saturday, March 25

GLORY, the world's premier kickboxing league, today announced the four Featherweight fighters competing on Saturday, March 25 when Forest National in Belgium plays host to GLORY 39 Brussels and GLORY 39 SuperFight Series.

Former GLORY Featherweight champion Serhiy Adamchuk (33-7, 16 KO), ranked No. 2 in the division, meets Uzbekistan's Anvar Boynazarov (79-20-2, 45 KO), ranked No. 8, in the first of two tournament seminfinal match-ups.
