Alistair Overeem and Rico Verhoeven negotiate boxing match in Amsterdam

Alistair Overeem and Rico Verhoeven are reportedly in talks for a boxing match in Amsterdam. This potential bout would be held at Johan Cruijff ArenA as part of a broader agreement for three fights in total, which may include MMA and kickboxing matches. Overeem has not fought in the UFC since 2021 and faced Badr Hari in 2022, while Verhoeven boasts an impressive record in kickboxing but recently suffered a defeat against Oleksandr Usyk in a boxing match. The negotiations were confirmed by Black Book PR, which represents Overeem.
