Inside Camp: Rico Verhoeven Joins Eddie Hall in Training Ahead of Oleksendr Usyk Fight!

Inside Camp: Rico Verhoeven Joins Eddie Hall in Training Ahead of Oleksendr Usyk Fight! Rico Verhoeven has been training with former World's Strongest Man Eddie Hall as part of his preparation for a high-profile boxing match against Oleksandr Usyk. The "crossover" bout, dubbed "Glory in Giza," is scheduled to take place at the iconic Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. Usyk will be making a voluntary defense of his WBC heavyweight title against Verhoeven, who is entering only his second professional boxing match. Footage from their training camp showed Verhoeven absorbing a full-power body shot from the 330lb+ Hall to test his conditioning. Verhoeven has recruited Peter Fury (uncle of Tyson Fury) to serve as his primary boxing trainer for this camp. Hall, who is currently preparing for his own fight against Tommy Fury on June 13, 2026, has predicted that Verhoeven's size and aggression will "shock the world" and pose a significant threat to Usyk. In recent discussions, Rogan and Tyson have noted that while Usyk has superior technical boxing, Verhoeven’s 270 lbs frame and "scary" power make him a dangerous threat who only needs to land "one clean hit". Mike Tyson, who interviewed Verhoeven as far back as GLORY 19, has recently reiterated his respect for Verhoeven's willingness to "take risks" and step out of his comfort zone to challenge the best technical boxer on the planet.
