Verhoeven wants to pull off the greatest boxing upset and beat Usyk

Ricko Verhoeven (1-0) hopes to seal one of the biggest upsets in boxing history, and defeat two-time undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (24-0, 15 KOs).

Usyk will fight against kickboxing legend Verhoeven for WBC and WBA Super heavyweight world titles. Fight will be held on Saturday in Pyramids of Giza in Egypt.

"I'm bringing something he hasn't seen before because he's only faced boxers who have been boxing their whole life. I haven't."

"The first objective is to win," he said. "How we're going to win, we'll see. If it's a knockout, it's a knockout. If it's a decision, it's a decision.

"If I get the win, then I'll have faced the best pound‑for‑pound fighter in the world and beaten him in 12 rounds where he tried everything and couldn't beat me. That would be the ultimate."

Usyk, meanwhile, said h will do the talking in ring.

"My language will be in the ring," the Ukrainian said ahead of his first fight since his knockout victory over Daniel Dubois at Wembley last July.

"Maybe it [a Verhoeven win] is possible, maybe it's not. We'll see. It's God's will.

"I have no idea how many rounds this fight will be. When I have a chance [to end it], I will do it."
