GLORY super-bantamweight champion Anissa Meksen will be paying close attention to next week’s GLORY 65 UTRECHT contest between Sofia ‘The Wolf’ Olofsson (48-8, 21 KO’s) and Christi Brereton (20-6-1, 5 KO’s).

It was officially confirmed by GLORY today that the winner of the fight will be the next fighter to challenge Meksen for her belt.

Sweden’s Olofsson rode a 26-fight win streak into GLORY and proved her championship pedigree by taking former champion Tiffany van Soest the distance and narrowly losing a split-decision.

A five-time IFMA gold medallist, Olofsson also counts WMC World and European titles among her list of achievements.

Brereton dominated her GLORY debut, winning a unanimous decision at GLORY 54 and extending her win streak to 4-0. A WBC Muay Thai world champion, she is ranked #1 at her weight in her native Britain.

When Brereton joined GLORY she said that a fight with Meksen was a target and that she had been chasing a fight with the Frenchwoman for some time prior to Meksen joining GLORY.
