World Boxing Council heavyweight titlist Oleksandr Usyk will be the
\nlighter man in his championship defense against kickboxing legend
\nRico
\nVerhoeven<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Both heavyweights weighed in on Friday ahead of tomorrow’s
\nchampionship clash. Ukraine’s Usyk is the much smaller man, as he
\nonly weighed 233.3 pounds, while the challenger came in at 258.7
\npounds. That’s a 25-pound difference in favor of Verhoeven. All
\nother boxers on the card successfully made weight.<\/p>\n

The undefeated Usyk (24-0) is widely considered the best
\nheavyweight in boxing and is coming off recent wins over Daniel
\nDubois, Tyson Fury<\/a>
\nand Anthony
\nJoshua<\/a>, each of whom he defeated twice. Also a former
\ncruiserweight standout, he’s one of the few boxers to have become
\nundisputed in multiple weight classes. Meanwhile, Verhoeven is just
\n1-0 as a professional boxer and is 12 years removed from his debut.
\nThe former Glory heavyweight champion is considered one of the best
\nkickboxers of all-time and has an impressive 66-10 record in that
\nsport. The Dutch fighter is also 1-0 in mixed martial arts, having
\npunched out Viktor
\nBogutzki<\/a> in 2015.<\/p>\n

Glory in Giza’s main card will take place Saturday on Dazn
\npay-per-view at 1 p.m. ET\/10 a.m. PT. Prelims will stream online at
\n11 a.m. ET\/8 a.m. PT.<\/p>\n
