Usyk nails late KO to cap close scorecard duel with Verhoeven

Oleksandr Usyk knocked out Rico Verhoeven with one second left in the 11th round to defend the WBC heavyweight title at Glory in Giza in Cairo. Official scorecards released after the bout had two judges at 95-95 and one at 96-94 for Verhoeven, meaning Usyk might have won on points if the fight had gone the distance; the late knockdown would have made Round 11 a 10-8 for Usyk if scored, underscoring how close the fight appeared on the cards versus the dramatic finish.
