The highly-anticipated showdown between Remy Bonjasky (76-14, 40 KO’s) and Tyrone Spong (68-6-1 42 KO’s) will take place on Saturday, March 23 at the Excel Arena in London, England, it was announced today by Glory Sports International (GSI), parent company of the Glory World Series. The bout had previously been set for February 16 but with Bonjasky being set to participate in the GLORY 4 – TOKYO: GRAND SLAM 16-man mega-tournament on New Year’s Eve, it was decided that February would potentially be too soon for him to get back in the ring. He will now have several more weeks to recover from his tournament bouts and get in peak condition for his first-time meeting with Spong.

I got a lot of fights left in me. I’ve still got the competitive edge and that’s what it’s all about. And I still love the sport enough to want to compete. See? You can love the sport, but if you don’t love the sport enough to compete you better get out of there. It’s been really good, it’s been a blessing in disguise. When I started the team up, when I joined, JZ, Villefort and Jorge Santiago…we didn’t know what it was going to create, but whatever happened..this synergy or whatever, everybody just came together. And now the team that has come about because of it is amazing. And I’m just happy to be a part of all of it.

“I’m looking at this guy. He’s not in shape at all. He has neglected his body. There’s no reason for me to judge him in the outside world. And people got upset at me for saying that because it was being blunt, or rude. Someone actually said that I was a ‘bully’ for doing that, so I felt that it should be addressed. …You have to be knowledgeable about martial arts, and you have to be able to physically separate people. You have to be able to move, and move very quickly. It’s a matter of the safety for all our fighters, and it’s very important.

He’s training … I’ll tell you what, that kid, I think he’s most improved fighter of the year. He looks good and he’s solid. I think he’s gonna win. A fight’s a fight, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. I think he’s got all the skills to win this fight. If I was to make a prediction there’s so many avenues because he’s so good on the ground and he’s so good standing. I’m thinking probably submission. I’ll give it third or fourth round after he batters him standing.”
