How a kickboxing legend & Statham's pal landed a shot at Usyk Rico Verhoeven, a Dutch kickboxing legend, has been handed a world title shot against Oleksandr Usyk in Egypt.
This matchup appears absurd on paper, with Verhoeven boasting only one professional boxing bout to his name. Yet, despite the doubts surrounding his credentials, Verhoeven remains undaunted.
Verhoeven's rise to this point can be attributed, in part, to a chance encounter with Jason Statham in Las Vegas.
