Valuable prize to be awarded to the winner of the Usyk vs Verhoeven fight
It has been revealed that organizers have prepared a special prize for the winner of the mega-fight between WBC, WBA, and WBO champion Oleksandr Usyk and Glory champion Rico Verhoeven. This was reported by Ring Magazine.
The winner of this bout, taking place on May 23 in Giza, Egypt, will be presented with a special pendant for the 'WBC Main Event' world championship. This award is not just a simple souvenir, but is valued as a precious symbol representing the prestige and historical significance of the fight.
It is reported that the pendant is crafted from an 18.9-carat emerald and diamonds. Its total value is estimated at $40,000. Such a prize draws even more attention to the clash between Usyk and Verhoeven.
Oleksandr Usyk is one of the brightest names in professional boxing. He was the 2012 Olympic champion and began his professional career in 2013. Later, the Ukrainian boxer proved his strength in the heavyweight division, becoming a two-time undisputed world champion in 2025.
Rico Verhoeven is an athlete with his own name and reputation in the world of kickboxing. For this reason, the bout between Usyk and Verhoeven is generating great interest as a confrontation between two different fighting styles and two great champions.
In short, the winner of the Giza fight will claim not only a major victory but also a special $40,000 pendant. For Usyk, this could be another historic chapter, and for Verhoeven, an opportunity to prove himself in the boxing world. In the ring, there is only one rule: both emeralds and diamonds suit only the winner.
