Summary

Can a kickboxer with just one pro boxing fight really become heavyweight champion of the world? That’s exactly what Rico Verhoeven is aiming to do as he prepares to face Oleksandr Usyk in front of the pyramids of Egypt this May. Buncey speaks to both fighters, as well as Verhoeven’s trainer Peter Fury and promoter, Eddie Hearn.
