Kickboxing career

Enfusion

Rigters made his promotional debut with Enfusion in 2017 against Serkan Ozcaglayan. Rigters won the fight by a unanimous decision.[6] During WFL: Manhoef vs. Bonjasky he fought Redouan Cairo. Rigters won the fight by a first round TKO.[7] During Enfusion 63 Rigters defeated Bruno Susano by a second round TKO.[8]

Rigters faced Martin Pacas for the Enfusion Super Heavyweight championship at Enfusion 73 on October 27, 2018. Rigters won the title by a unanimous decision.[9]

Rigters continued his undefeated streak with non-title wins over Mihajlo Kecojevic at Enfusion 86, on June 28, 2019,[10] and Dexter Suisse at Enfusion 88 on October 5, 2019.[11]

Rigters made his first heavyweight title defense against Nidal Bchiri at Enfusion 79 on February 23, 2020. He won the fight by a unanimous decision.[12][13]

Levi Rigters then entered the 2019 Abu Dhabi World Grand Prix, held at Enfusion 92 on December 6, 2019. He beat Giannis Stoforidis by unanimous decision in the tournament semifinals, and in the finals he defeated Martin Pacas by unanimous decision as well.[14][15]

Glory

Rigters was scheduled to make his Glory debut at Glory 76 on December 12, 2020. He was to take part in a four-man heavyweight tournament, facing the #5 ranked heavyweight Antonio Plazibat in the semi-finals.[16] The tournament parings later changed, as Arkadiusz Wrzose pulled out of the tournament. Righters was rescheduled to face Jahfarr Wilnis.[17] His opponent changed once more, with Wilnis being replaced by Massinissa Hamaili.[18] The event was indefinitely postponed, as main event fighter Badr Hari contracted COVID-19,[19] as well as due to a partial lockdown imposed by the Dutch government.[20] The event was rescheduled for December 19.[21] Hamaili would later be replaced by Marciano Bhagwandass, four days before the event.[22] Rigters won the tournament, knocking out Marciano Bhagwandass with a body shot in the second round of the semifinal bout, and Nordine Mahieddine by a body kick in the first round of the tournament final.[23]

Rigters took part in a four man heavyweight tournament at Glory 77 on January 30, 2021, facing Tarik Khbabez in the semifinals, as a late notice replacement for Antonio Plazibat.[24] Despite coming into the fight as a favorite,[25] Rigters would lose the fight by split decision.[26]

Rigters was booked to fight the #10 ranked Glory heavyweight Tomáš Možný at Glory 78: Arnhem on September 4, 2021.[27][28] He won the fight by a third-round technical knockout, stopping his opponent with low kicks.[29]

Rigters was expected to face the two-time Glory heavyweight title challenger Jamal Ben Saddik at Glory 80 on March 19, 2022.[30] The bout was cancelled minutes before starting, due to riots breaking out in the crowd.[31] Rigters was next booked to face Tariq Osaro at Glory: Collision 4 on October 8, 2022.[32] He won the fight by unanimous decision, with all five judges scoring the bout 29–28 in his favor.[33]
