The Usyk vs. Verhoeven fight will take place in Giza, Egypt, in close proximity to the famous pyramid complex. The tournament is sanctioned by the World Boxing Council (WBC): the organization’s heavyweight championship title is at stake.
The undercard of the boxing evening in Giza has already been formed and includes several high-profile fights. The main fight - Oleksandr Usyk (24-0, 15 KOs) vs. Rico Verhoeven (1-0, 1 KO) - will conclude the evening’s program. The exact time of the fighters’ entrance to the ring will be announced later.
Participants
Oleksandr Usyk is an undefeated undisputed world champion, having conquered first the cruiserweight division and then the heavyweight division. His record is 24-0. He has defeated Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, and Daniel Dubois. The Ukrainian will voluntarily defend his WBC belt.
Rico Verhoeven is the Dutch "King of Kickboxing", who held the Glory heavyweight championship belt for 12 years. The 36-year-old athlete, standing 196 cm tall and weighing about 120 kg, has a significant physical advantage: he outweighs Usyk by about 20 kg. Verhoeven himself is convinced that one accurate punch can change the outcome of a fight.
