Career
Nathan Corbett started practicing martial arts with karate at age of 14, which led him to shoot boxing and Muay Thai. At 3rd MARS World Fighting General Practice in Chiba, Japan in 2006 he suffered his first KO loss of his career against American Heavyweight Alex Roberts. Nathan Corbett"s fight against Tyrone Spong ended in a controversial decision, with Corbett knocking Spong out with punches but resumed fighting after the referee had stopped the fight, the fight was declared a no contest.
On the second round Spong knocked Corbett, who recovered and fought through the round.
On the third round, Corbett switched stance to southpaw and caught Spong with a hard right hook. Spong couldn"t make the count and the referee waved it official
Corbett alleged that he misunderstood the referee Paolo Tocha as he waved his hands not up high enough and giving his back to him, so he jumped to finish the fight. Fighters as Mark Castagnini and Ray Sefo did support this could be a possibility.
Finally, Nazarov was replaced by Kamil Sokolowski.
At the beginning of the fight Sokolowski came on Corbett with punches, but was countered with knees and right elbow and fight was over before it even started. He signed a two fight contract with Glory in July 2013. In his long-awaited rematch with Tyrone Spong at Glory 11: Chicago - Heavyweight ship Tournament in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, United States on October 12, 2013, he was dropped twice with left hooks in round two and lost by TKO. Competing for the inaugural Glory Light Heavyweight Championship, he fought in the Glory 15: Istanbul - Light Heavyweight ship Tournament in Istanbul, Turkey on April 12, 2014.
In the semi-finals against Gökhan Saki, Corbett began to bleed from his right ear after being struck by a left overhand from the Turk.
This led the ringside physician to advise referee First Rate (at Lloyd's) Wichgers to halt the fight at the 2:35 mark of round one, handing Corbett a TKO loss and eliminating him from the tournament.
