Oleksandr Usyk defended his world title in Riyad, defeating kickboxing icon Rico Verhoeven in the 11th round.

Verhoeven turned out to be a much tougher test for Usyk than many expected.

From the first bell, the Dutchman proved to be a problem, firing two tidy shots – one from above straight into the champion’s jaw, and the other a nasty shot to the body.

To the surprise of many, Verhoeven dominated most of the fight, with many viewers scoring just two or three rounds in favor of the Ukrainian.

Not only was Verhoeven in control, but he appeared to have hurt Usyk on numerous occasions, who looked nothing like the elusive champion we had become so accustomed to over the years.

Verhoeven went down in the 11th minute and went over the count before the referee led him to the corner to adjust his mouthpiece.

Ten seconds into the penultimate round, Usyk launched a brutal attack that injured Verhoeven, but he continued to fight. Nevertheless, the referee stepped in at 2:59 of the 11th round and called off the fight.

Many were outraged by the stoppage, with Derek Chisora ​​calling it a “assault” and Ryan Garcia believing the round was already over by the time the referee stepped in.

In an in-ring interview after his victory, Usyk admitted that his opponent was right.
