Rico Verhoeven is in the final stages of a high-profile training camp for his WBC Heavyweight Title challenge against Oleksandr Usyk on May 23, 2026, at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. Mike Tyson Joined Rico in Camp to see his preparation, Tyson has been vocal in his support, describing Verhoeven's power as "terrifying" and potentially enough to shock the world. Verhoeven’s transition from kickboxing to elite boxing is being managed by a team designed to maximize his 55-lb weight advantage over the champion. The uncle and former coach of Tyson Fury has been working with Verhoeven for years, but recently shifted his focus specifically to boxing fundamentals rather than kickboxing. Tyson and Joe Rogan have reacted to "scary" new training footage, with Tyson noting that Verhoeven's natural size and power could bridge the technical gap if he connects cleanly. Verhoeven has utilized his long-standing relationship with the Fury family, recently engaging in intense sparring rounds with Tyson Fury to prepare for the speed and movement of a technician like Usyk. #miketyson #ricoverhoeven #oleksandrusyk #usyk #usykvsrico #ricovsusyk #boxingnews #boxing
