Verhoeven wants Usyk rematch: money fight or sideshow?
Kickboxing king Rico Verhoeven is pushing for a boxing rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, but the heavyweight division has real mandatories waiting in the wings.
Rico Verhoeven is openly campaigning for a boxing rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, framing it as a legitimate super-fight that would test his skills against the pound-for-pound great. Verhoeven, the kickboxing king and former Glory Heavyweight champion, has spent months publicly calling out Usyk, a two-division boxing world champion. The kickboxer’s push is rooted in promotion: he wants to elevate his profile by stepping into the ring with one of the sport’s most dominant fighters.
