Ukrainian boxing powerhouse Oleksandr Usyk is set to defend his WBC title against the formidable former GLORY kickboxing heavyweight champion, Rico Verhoeven. This highly anticipated bout, dubbed “Glory in Giza,” is scheduled for this Saturday and will take place against the breathtaking backdrop of the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt.
The two titans recently met for their first face-to-face encounter ahead of the May 23rd fight, an event steeped in history and spectacle.
In a unique arrangement due to Verhoeven’s current unranked status by major boxing sanctioning bodies, the stakes for the championship belts are extraordinary. Verhoeven has the opportunity to claim the WBC World Heavyweight Title and the Ring Magazine Championship. However, should Usyk be defeated, the WBA and IBF titles are expected to be declared vacant.
Fans can witness this historic clash live and exclusively via DAZN Pay-Per-View.
