Oleksandr Usyk vs.
Rico Verhoeven: Start Time and Ring Walks in Egypt The news that Oleksandr Usyk will defend his WBC heavyweight title against Rico Verhoeven at the Pyramids in Egypt is a curious development, marking yet another instance where the line between sport and theater is blurred.
Usyk's 24 0 record and 15 knockouts make him the clear favorite against Verhoeven, who has only one professional boxing match under his belt.
