In this video, Teddy Atlas gives his take on Oleksandr Usyk’s choice to face Rico Verhoeven — a dominant kickboxing champion, not a professional boxer. Oleksandr Usyk has built his legacy in the boxing ring as an undisputed champion, but Verhoeven is widely regarded as the face of modern heavyweight kickboxing. Known as the longtime king of GLORY Kickboxing, Rico is a physically imposing athlete with elite striking — but from a completely different combat sport. Teddy breaks down who Rico is, what he brings to the table, and the massive differences between boxing and kickboxing at the elite level. He examines whether this kind of matchup makes competitive sense, what the risks are for Usyk, and how it could impact his legacy. As always, Teddy goes beyond headlines to analyze the motivation, the business angle, and the reality of crossing over between combat sports. Thanks for being with us.
