To say that 2020 has been unpredictable would be a massive understatement. Certainly a global pandemic has affected everyone’s way of life, but the world of kickboxing also endured a major shakeup when GLORY filed for bankruptcy and switched ownership. In the fallout, many of the sport’s top names, including former champions Marat Grigorian and Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong exited the promotion. In the case of Grigorian and Sitthichai, the destination was Asia’s ONE Championship organization. This left GLORY’s lightweight No. 1 contender and former title challenger Josh Jauncey in a bit of a predicament. “I was on a crash course with Grigorian. I was finally going to fight him,” declared the English-born Canadian while speaking to Combat Press. “We had been in the same promotion for six years together, and we’ve never fought. He was the champion, and I was ready to fight him, but he ran away — he left for ONE.
