About the match
A heavyweight title fight at the foot of the Pyramids — only Turki Alalshikh would book this, and it's exactly the brand of spectacle Riyadh Season trades on. Oleksandr Usyk, defending the WBC, is still the most technically refined heavyweight on the planet at 39. Rico Verhoeven, the long-reigning Glory kickboxing king, makes his pro boxing debut at world level — no professional rounds, just years of devastating right hands without gloves on. The cross-discipline narrative is fun; the fight itself is a mismatch on paper. Watch for how long Verhoeven can stay measured before Usyk's footwork and southpaw left-straight bring down the curtain.
