Inside Fight Camp: Oleksandr Usyk vs Rico Verhoeven | Episode 3

Inside Fight Camp: Oleksandr Usyk vs Rico Verhoeven | Episode 3 Verhoeven has relocated to the Netherlands for a three-month camp to transition his skills from kickboxing to elite-level boxing. Verhoeven has recruited Peter Fury, the former trainer of Tyson Fury, to help him "solve the puzzle" of Usyk's movement. To prepare for the experience gap, Verhoeven has been sparring with high-level boxers, including Tyson Fury. Footage from his camp shows a heavy emphasis on traditional boxing footwork and head movement to combat Usyk's technical precision. Usyk and his team have recently moved their training base to Ukraine. Anthony Joshua has been spotted in Usyk's camp, sharing tips and adding high-level pressure to the sessions. Usyk has reportedly increased his workload, extending his daily running distance from 10km to 11km and focusing heavily on movement and control. Usyk describes his preparation as a "battle against himself," maintaining the same level of seriousness regardless of his opponent's background in kickboxing. #ricoverhoeven #oleksandrusyk #usyk #usykvsrico #boxingnews #boxing
