Oleksandr Usyk, the unified heavyweight champion of the world, is reportedly set to face Dutch kickboxing great Rico Verhoeven in Egypt on May 23rd, for the WBC Heavyweight title.

Yes, you read that right.

In this episode of Boxing Talk with Ade Oladipo, Ade reacts to the shock announcement and asks the big question: How on earth can the WBC sanction this fight?

Ade breaks down the politics, the business, and the wider implications for the sport.
