Oleksandr Usyk's recent victory against Rico Verhoeven has been met with widespread criticism from boxing fans, who feel the decision was unjust. Usyk, ranked as the world's top pound-for-pound fighter, was expected to dominate the match. However, Verhoeven put up a strong fight, even knocking Usyk down in the 11th round. Many fans believed Verhoeven was ahead on the scorecards until the referee intervened, stopping the match and awarding Usyk the win, which led to accusations of corruption. After ten rounds, two judges had the fight even, while one gave Verhoeven a slight edge. Following the announcement of the scorecards, social media exploded with outrage, with fans labeling the decision as corrupt and questioning the integrity of the sport. Former Glory heavyweight champion Verhoeven also commented on the stoppage, stating it felt premature and expressing a desire for a rematch. Meanwhile, discussions about a potential fight between Usyk and unbeaten heavyweight contender Agit Kabayel have begun, though the public backlash may affect future match arrangements.
