Mory Kromah crowned GLORY heavyweight champion after anticlimactic final at GLORY 105

Mory Kromah has been crowned the new GLORY heavyweight world champion, but the decisive moment arrived in an unexpected way. The Last Heavyweight Standing final at GLORY 105 in Arnhem was cancelled at the last moment after Miloš Cvjetićanin was not medically cleared to continue.

An anticlimactic finish to the tournament

The heavyweight tournament was designed to crown a new champion after Rico Verhoeven stepped away from the title. Eight fighters entered a one-night bracket, with the winner needing multiple victories to leave with the belt.

Kromah did his part inside the ring, advancing through the bracket and earning his place in the final. Cvjetićanin also reached the title bout, but damage to his toe earlier in the night ultimately prevented him from competing in the final. With the doctors unable to clear him, the championship fight was called off and Kromah was announced as champion.

Kromah’s run and the immediate reaction

Kromah made it clear afterward that while the ending was not the way he wanted to win, he will still take the belt and move forward as champion. He also signaled that he wants the biggest names available next, including the possibility of facing Rico Verhoeven if the former champion ever returns.

For GLORY, the title has a new owner, but the night will be remembered for the final that never happened. The next step is turning this unusual ending into a clear champion’s path, with a first defense that removes any doubt and resets the heavyweight division.
