Fraser Weightman will join kickboxing's biggest hitters tomorrow.

Leicester Kickboxing Club coach Jag Johal describes the Glory show at the ExCel Arena in London as "the biggest kickboxing event ever held in this country"

Fighting heroes from K1, UFC and kickboxing including Remy Bonjasky, Paul Daley and Liam Harrison are all in action – and Weightman makes his professional debut on the undercard.

Weightman last year won the ISKA world amateur championship and has an unbeaten 14-fight ring record, including nine knock-outs, and another win at Glory could lead to the 24 year-old from Thorpe Astley becoming a global star.

"This is a massive opportunity for Fraser," said Johal, who previously took Simon Dore to world heavyweight honours.

"Glory have signed up loads of big names and are putting on massive shows all over the world.

"They are looking for up-and-coming fighters and, if they like what Fraser does, they could sign him up."
