Usyk vs Rico: Tony Bellew, Eddie Hearn and Terence Crawford give predictions for world title fight


Oleksandr Usyk defends his WBC world title against Rico Verhoeven in Egypt on Saturday.

The fight is unusual in location as well as nature, giving kickboxing world champion Verhoeven a title shot in his second boxing fight – and first since 2014.

The 37-year-old Dutchman is aiming to pull off possibly the biggest upset in the history of the sport.

Usyk, a 39-year-old Ukrainian, aims to continue his 17-year winning streak.

Will we see an underdog win for the ages or will Usyk’s dominance continue?

BBC Sport asks the boxing world for their predictions.
