Who are the big names on the Oleksandr Usyk vs. Rico Verhoeven undercard?

Usyk and Verhoeven is not the only heavyweight fight taking place on the card with Frank Sanchez and Richard Torrez Jr. also set to meet. 

The pair clash in an IBF heavyweight title eliminator, meaning the winner will be in line to challenge Usyk, who holds the governing body's world heavyweight title, in the immediate future. 

Two British fighters also feature on the undercard. 

In the co-main event, Hamzah Sheeraz bids to become the WBO super middleweight champion against Alem Begic, while Jack Catterall looks to win the WBA's 'regular' welterweight belt against Shakhram Giyasov. 

Sheeraz has already proven he is a serious force at 168lbs after dispatching Berlanga in five rounds last July. 

WBO women's super flyweight champion Mizuki Hiruta makes a defence of her title belt against Mai Soliman, while Ukrainian light heavyweight Daniel Lapin continues his rise through the ranks against Benjamin Mendes Tani.
