联合重量级冠军奥列克桑德·乌西克将在5月23日在吉萨金字塔的交叉战中与拳手里科·维霍文 (Rico Verhoeven) 捍卫他的WBC冠军. Unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk will defend his WBC title against kickboxer Rico Verhoeven in a May 23 crossover bout at the Pyramids of Giza. 威尔霍文的身材显著更大, 他相信自己的体型和力量将确保他的淘汰赛胜利. Verhoeven, who is significantly larger, believes his size and power will secure a knockout victory. 赛事还包括其他冠军战和IBF重量级淘汰,尽管Usyk如果选择与Verhoeven作斗争,可能会失去他的IBF腰带. The event features other title fights and an IBF heavyweight eliminator, though Usyk risks losing his IBF belt if he chooses to fight Verhoeven.
