Verhoeven 25-Pound Edge Over Usyk at Cairo Weigh-In for Heavyweight Title

At the Cairo weigh-in for Saturday's WBC heavyweight title bout, Oleksandr Usyk weighed 233.3 lbs and Rico Verhoeven 258.7 lbs, giving Verhoeven a roughly 25-pound size advantage. Despite the heft, Verhoeven is a heavy underdog, and Usyk remains the heavier of the two in most of his heavyweight fights, though this is his heaviest weight ever. A win for Verhoeven would not yield him the WBA belt, but Usyk could lose the WBA title if Verhoeven wins. The undercard weighed in without issues, with several other bouts scheduled and DAZN set to stream the event.
