Kickboxer Rico Verhoeven said that he plans to continue his performances in boxing and commented on a potential rematch with the holder of the WBC, WBA and IBF heavyweight titles Alexander Usik, to whom he lost in a recent fight. An athlete from the Netherlands expressed a desire to meet the Ukrainian in the ring again, but is not yet sure whether his opponent is interested in this. " But we'll see. I don't know if Usik wants this. It's up to him. But the fans will definitely want it. I plan to stay in boxing. I would also like to thank the English actor Jason Statham for helping me get the fight with Usyk and change my life. It was Statham who suggested Turki Al ash-Sheikh organize a fight for me against Usik. I'm glad to stay in boxing. So I'm ready for any opponent they give me. I've already fought the best. I fought a guy who beat everyone and came close to beating him, so I'm ready for anything. We have already started negotiations with Al ash-Sheikh to potentially organize something. But we'll see.

I'm incredibly grateful to Jason for this opportunity.. And he knows it. We communicate every day. He was very proud of what I showed and knew it would happen. It’s nice to hear that,” Verhoeven was quoted as saying by The Athletic.. It is worth noting that earlier interim WBC champion Agit Kabayel challenged Usyk to fight. Kabayel fantasizes about a fight with Usyk and asks him to agree to the fight. News on Telegram and WhatsApp. Subscribe to our channels https://t. me/korrespondentnet and WhatsApp.
