Fight Preview
Usyk, who remains unbeaten, enters the bout as a heavy favourite. Some observers view this as a 'side quest' before his next mandatory WBC title defence. Verhoeven, a renowned striker in combat sports, has only one professional boxing match to his name despite an extensive kickboxing career and training under Tyson Fury’s uncle Peter.
The undercard features several intriguing matchups, though details remain limited. The event promises a spectacle at one of the world's most iconic locations.
