Initially, as reported by Dan Rafael and others: “The WBC absolutely helps this cross over struggle. It is going to be a WBC ‘particular occasion’ and we are going to create an unbelievable belt that includes the weather of Pyramids of Egypt.

Tony Bellew breaks down Oleksandr Usyk vs Rico Verhoeven
Talking to First Spherical TV, Bellew mentioned Rico Verhoeven (1-0, 1 KO):
“He’s been in camp with the Fury’s for a few years. He’s sparred many rounds with Hughie Fury. He’s sparred a whole lot of rounds with Tyson Fury, and he’s been round Peter Fury a very long time.
“Peter wouldn’t embarrass himself with taking up a clown, so it lets you understand he can positively struggle. However I simply assume Usyk’s so intelligent and sensible. Two, three rounds most, he’ll determine him out. He’ll have gotten the timing all the way down to a T, and I feel by spherical 5, six, he’ll be teeing off on him, and he received’t know the place they’re coming from.
“He’s a tremendous kickboxer. He’s among the best. I feel Ernesto Hoost is one of the best kickboxer ever, however that’s up for debate. However he’s a robust man. He’s acquired excellent arms for a kickboxer, however hear, you’re coming into our self-discipline. Nobody is ever going to come back into our self-discipline and beat us at it. It’s like we are able to’t go into their self-discipline. If this was a kickboxing match, he’d kick Oleksandr Usyk’s legs off in a bout two rounds. However fortunately it’s not, it’s a boxing match, and I feel after that six or seven-minute interval the place he’s actually tough and exhausting to determine, I feel then you definitely’ll see the undoing of him,” mentioned Bellew.
