Press Release: UK Airing Time Changed for Glory 13 Tokyo

The event was originally due to air live from 10:00am this Saturday 21 December, but fan feedback suggested that a night-time airing was preferred.

“A sizeable number of UK fans complained to us that they would miss the morning broadcast due to Saturday being their last chance to do some Christmas shopping,” explained a GLORY spokesman.

“So we spoke with BT Sports and when we learned that a late-night slot was available, we requested the switch.

“Fans can now do what they need to do in the day, then have a few friends round at night for GLORY 13 TOKYO to start their Christmas holiday with a bang.”

A live stream of the Tokyo SuperFight Series is available to UK fans (airing 7:30am GMT on Saturday) and worldwide via the GloryWorldSeries.com stream - and as a Christmas gift from GLORY, you can also get a 25% ($5 USD) discount on the purchase of the Tokyo SuperFight Series, using the code GlorySuperFightsUK5.

Additionally, with purchase the Tokyo SuperFight Series, you will receive a second discount code via email valid for 50% ($10 USD) off the purchase of GLORY 13 Tokyo, airing at 10:00am GMT.

GLORY 13 TOKYO is headlined by kickboxing legend Peter Aerts 103-30-1 (78 KO's) in his retirement fight against the GLORY Heavyweight Championship Tournament winner Rico Verhoeven 42-9-0 (10 KO's).

In the co-main event, Daniel Ghita 49-10-0 (38 KO's) looks to position himself as a heavyweight contender for 2014 by taking out ‘The Bonecrusher’ Errol Zimmerman 101-10-1 (42 KO's).
