On the night of May 23-24, Rico Verhoeven will enter the ring against undefeated champion Alexander Usyk. On the eve of the meeting with the Ukrainian, the Dutchman sparred against British heavyweight Matty Harris, who shared his emotions in an interview with Talksport after a training fight. " When he hit me, I thought I was standing on the roof! I got hit and the room seemed to turn over." Let us add that Harris previously boxed with Usik’s former opponent, Tyson Fury. “But I stayed on my feet and continued, he didn’t even understand what happened. I told him later and he thought it was funny. Yes, he can hit. He's a big guy, weighs 125 kg or whatever he said. He's very big. And entirely from muscles - there is not an ounce of fat there, it is all “in relief”. So he is a very strong person, a real athlete." Earlier, Usyk sharply responded to critics before the fight. Usyk and Verhoeven pre-weighed in. News on Telegram and WhatsApp. Subscribe to our channels https://t. me/korrespondentnet and WhatsApp.
