The Greatest Heavyweight Upset Ever… Almost

Oleksandr Usyk vs Rico Verhoeven ended in one of the most controversial heavyweight boxing stoppages in years. Boxing analyst A Guy Called Henry breaks down the hidden details behind Usyk’s 11th-round KO win. In this post-fight reaction, I analyse how Rico Verhoeven shocked the boxing world, why he was able to trouble Oleksandr Usyk tactically, whether Usyk is declining, and whether the controversial stoppage denied Verhoeven the chance to reach the final round. I also look at the wider factors around the fight, including Usyk’s weight, last-minute trainer changes, Verhoeven’s kickboxing background, and what this result means for the heavyweight division.
