Intending to keep his promise, Hari came out aggressively in the first round, opening a cut on Verhoeven’s nose early in the fight. Hari won the first round.
The GLORY heavyweight champion returned more aggressive in the second round.
The fight ended by an injury at Hari’s arm after which he couldn’t continue the fight.
Verhoeven scoring his 50th career victory with the TKO.
