British athlete, Chi Lewis-Parry  has signed with GLORY and will make his debut at the upcoming GLORY 20 DUBAI event on Friday, April 3rd.

The current ONE FC heavyweight athlete, who is 4-0 inside the cage, will debut against rising Californian talent Xavier Vigney (6-1, 6 KO’s) on the GLORY Superfight Series 20 section of the card.

Lewis-Parry stands at an astounding 6ft 9inches, weighs 265 lbs which also explains why he also used to be an ex-professional Basketball Player, (click here on earlier interview), he then transitioned into K1 early 2011 and eventually MMA. The rest we say is history.

I spoke with Chi earlier today who had this to say about his new signing:

Glory World series and myself are not too dissimilar. We’re both heavyweight at what we do.

Glory is the premier promotion for K1 competition in the universe and I come to smash.  I love this shit!

GLORY 20 DUBAI and GLORY Superfight Series 20 take place on Friday, April 3 at the Dubai World Trade Centre in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The former airs in the US on Spike TV at 10pm ET while the latter airs via tape-delay on the CBS Sports network on Friday April 10 at 11pm ET.
