Very soon in Egypt the Ukrainian champion will fight against kickboxing hegemon Rico Verhoeven, and this battle will be for the WBC belt.

However, the day before the WBA official website stated that Usyk could defend the WBA title in the upcoming fight with Verhoeven.

But in terms of defense there are interesting points: the first and main thing is that the WBA belt will be at stake, but only for Usik. Verhoeven, in turn, is not included in the top 15 of this organization’s rating.

To avoid questions about why the fight is allowed as a defense of the belt if the Dutch athlete is not on the organization's roster, they refer to clause C40, claiming that this is all done "

Thus, if Usyk wins, he will be credited with a successful defense. Otherwise the belt will become vacant.

Let us remind you that earlier Verhoeven announced his weight before the fight with Usyk.
