Dmitry Bivol defends Usyk after Verhoeven exhibition bout

Dmitry Bivol explained that Oleksandr Usyk's difficulty against Rico Verhoeven was due to Verhoeven's unpredictable, unconventional style despite limited boxing experience. Bivol compared it to sparring an awkward opponent whose movements are hard to read. He believes Usyk would perform better in a rematch now that he understands Verhoeven's approach, and that Usyk remains among the all-time greats alongside Tyson, Lewis, and Holyfield.
