Rabat – World’s premier kickboxing league Glory handed a one-year suspension to Alistair Overeem following a failed drug test, Dutch media reported.
MMA News said Overeem tested positive for a prohibited substance, and therefore his previous win over Badr Hari last October has been overturned to a “no contest.”
“Details surrounding the exact substance found in Overeem’s test have yet to be revealed,” the news outlet added.
In addition to his failed drug test, Overeem was also removed from the top 10 ranking.
The kickboxing star has not yet commented on his suspension.
The 42-year-old kickboxing fighter also known as the “Demolition Man” has won 47 of his professional fights and lost 19 others.
Overeem signed a multi-year agreement with Glory in 2021. The kickboxing league welcomed the signing of the contract with the Dutch athlete, stressing that he is one of the “most well-rounded and decorated heavyweight fighters of all time.”
Moroccan kickboxing star Badr Hari lost his Glory collision against Overeem on October 8, 2022 despite showing resilience throughout the three rounds of the fight.
