Ukrainian world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk fights through resistance from former Dutch kickboxer Rico Verhoeven and prevents an upset by securing a stoppage in the 11th round in Egypt. Multiple reports say the bout goes the distance into the late rounds, with Verhoeven pushing Usyk for the majority of the fight. The stoppage comes after 10 full rounds of action, with Usyk ultimately ending the contest in the 11th. The reports describe Verhoeven as the challenger who tests the champion, including in the later stages of the match. By winning via 11th-round stoppage, Usyk retains his status as the world heavyweight champion following the heavyweight title fight held in Egypt. The coverage emphasizes the fact that Usyk is not decisively dominant from the start, as the challenger remains competitive well into the latter rounds before the fight ends. Details on the specific finishing moment and any official ruling are not provided in the excerpts.
