Much to the crowd\u2019s surprise, the referee stopped the bout, giving Usyk a controversial victory when it looked like the fighters would get three more minutes to decide it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Verhoeven, a legendary kickboxer competing in just his second-ever pro boxing match, evoked memories of Francis Ngannou\u2019s near upset of Tyson Fury back in October 2023.
