What Is Usyk’s and Verhoeven’s Walkout Music?
While Matchroom Boxing has yet to announce each boxer’s walkout music for the main event, they usually approach the ring to the same songs during their matches. Usyk typically walks out to “Brothers” by Vasyl Zhadan, while Verhoeven prefers to walk out to “King of Glory” by Ademlicht. It’s likely that these songs will make an appearance during the event.
