sport">AMSTERDAM – Rico Verhoeven is a killer inside the ring, a gentle giant outside. Anyone who treats him with respect gets it back. Even – or indeed – his opponents. That is different with Jamal Ben Saddik, against whom the King of Kickboxing defends his heavyweight title for the tenth time during Glory 77 on 30 January. The Belgian has completely lost it at Verhoeven and that became clear again on Thursday, during a digital media moment.
