New York, NY – GLORY, the world’s premier kickboxing league, today announced its first visit to San Diego as Valley View Casino Center hosts GLORY 21 on Friday, May 8. The middleweight title is on the line when reigning champion Artem “The Lion” Levin(50-4-1, 33 KOs) defends his belt against the winner of GLORY’s Middleweight Contender Tournament taking place in April.

In order to determine who will face Levin on May 8, GLORY will host a one-night, four-man Middleweight Contender Tournament at GLORY 20, which airs on Spike TV at 10/9c from the Dubai World Trade Centre in Dubai, United Arab Emirates on Friday, April 3.

In the first of two semifinal match-ups at GLORY 20, rejuvenated Dutch kickboxing specialist Jason “Psycho” Wilnis (23-4-1, 6 KOs) meets powerful Brazilian prospectAlex “Po Atan” Pereira (17-2-0, 10 KOs).
