Hari vs Rico Is Nearly Done?

[themagi]

ZiggoSport apparently reveal the bout to happen on a GLORY event within 4-5 months.

Is this legit?

Translation of the bullet points:

"Glory made a serious offer" Rico told during Pep Talk on monay.

Verhoeven, who has held the heavyweight title for years, is physically ready for a fight with Hari. "As far as I'm concerned we fight next week."

It won't be that quick though. "We always want to fight, no problem, but Badr needs about four to five months to prepare for this", his trainer Mike Passenier says. "Also, the fight still needs to be promoted, which takes some time."

It seems pretty serious now, but it all depends on Badr's legal status.

What happened to "Glory does not want to touch Hari"? What happens if Hari wins, are Glory really going to risk having Hari as their HW champ so they can get extorted of their last pennies? Sounds like a no go to me :/

Essentially it was one of the few ways to keep a hold on Rico. Rico is their heavyweight champion and was seriously considering going somewhere else. He genuinely wants this fight and they want to keep him happy, period.

It's a lose-lose for GLORY.

Should stick 'em both in the Kunlun tournament
That way they could never mention it if Rico lost and if he ended up winning then they could!
Win-Win!

Did this trial go down, or was it adjourned? Meant to have happened over a fortnight ago but I haven't read anything.

This was around the time Hari was said to have asked for 8-9 mths to prepare. A fortnight later, it's 4-5 mths says Passenier. I also wonder if Hari's asking price has dropped with all of these issues popping up.
