Nieky Holzken, arguably the worlds best 170 lb Kickboxer has issued a challenge to Paul Daley. Holzken posted the video message below on You Tube.
Holzken is currently set to fight Raymond Daniels at Glory 23 on August 7th, so it is safe to assume he would have to come out of that bout without any injuries for the fight with Daley to happen.
Daley is most recognized for his stint in the UFC where he was a legitimate contender before being kicked out of the promotion. Daley then spent time fighter for several other promotions including Strikeforce and most recently Bellator. He focused on Kickboxing in 2014 fighting throughout Europe. He picked up a (T)KO win over top ranked Russian Alexander Stetsurenko in that time frame.
Daley responded to the challenge on facebook with the following:
"The best 77kg kickboxer Nieky Holzken has called me out to fight him on glory/Bellator dynamite. Very surreal. I'm a massive fan of Holzken, but I am a fighter that won't back down. If he wants it, it's the motivation I need. Let's make it happen, and if he wins in Vegas for the GLORY, let's make it for the GLORY CHAMPIONSHIP BELT. Ok Nieky?......."
This would be a nice match up to see added to the Dynamite card, and hopefully Holzken comes out of the bout on August 7th without any serious injuries and can compete on the September 19th Dynamite card.
