The boxing world has been left stunned after one of the greatest fighters to ever step into the ring, Oleksandr Usyk, was pushed to his limit by a man with one professional boxing fight.

Oleksandr Usyk and Rico Verhoeven faced off on Saturday in Egypt in front of the pyramids of Giza. Usyk, the WBA, WBC and IBF heavyweight champion, took on Verhoeven, a kickboxer by trade, in a match that was pure spectacle and the result confirmed it.

Jake Paul says the referee should have given Rico Verhoeven the full recovery minute in his corner during the Usyk fight before stopping the contest.

Last weekend, the highly hyped rematch was stopped by the referee following Whittaker's (9-0-1, 6 KOs) dominance over Cameron (23-7-1, 10 KOs). Whittaker hit the opponent with a big right hand after a flood of punches from which he never gained momentum.
