An all English bout between Ashley “The Beast” Reece and Mark Glover has been announced for ACB Manchester.
ACB announced the fight over social media.
Reece (4-0) made his professional debut in 2015 with a first round TKO over Ian Williams. Following the victory, he faced top prospect Tobias Reid, and took away a split decision at FCC 14. In his third bout, the surging welterweight stopped Martin Hudson via first round TKO at FCC 16. In his most recent outing, Reece faced knockout artist Ant Davies at FCC 17. Reece used superior wrestling and grappling to outwork, bloody up, and eventually submit Davies, who succumbed to a rear naked choke in the second round.
Glover (6-2) hasn’t fought since 2013. The Liverpudlian won three of his first four professional bouts, with one no contest in between. His first loss came to Michael Pastou, but he rebounded with three straight wins. In March of 2013, Glover competed on The Ultimate Fighter Season 15, but was eliminated by John Cofer. In his most recent outing, the 28-year-old lost a decision to Lewis Long. Glover has wins over massive names such as Mike Wilkinson and Michael Bowman.
ACB Manchester takes place live from the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England on March 11, 2017.
