This past Friday the Road to Glory USA heavyweight tournament took place in Tulsa, OK. Eight hopefuls entered the one night tournament looking to win $20,000 in prize money and a contract with Glory. When it was over Xavier Vigney walked away the tournament champion after knockout out all three of his opponents. In the opening round Vigney knocked out Jack May, in the semi-finals scored a technical knockout over Julian Walters and in the tournament final he knocked out Maurice Green. All three of his knockouts came in the first round. Vigney now joins the four previous Road to Glory USA winners, Dustin Jacoby, Mike Lemaire, Francois Ambang, and Michael Mananquil.
