Peter Fury has confirmed he will be involved in Rico Verhoeven's training camp ahead of his shock fight with Oleksandr Usyk on May 23.
Heavyweight champion kickboxer Verhoeven is scheduled to take on three-time undisputed champion Usyk in a boxing match for the WBC heavyweight title in Giza, Egypt.
Fury, the uncle of Tyson Fury, will once again collaborate with Verhoeven to work on his boxing as he gears up for the second professional bout of his career.
Verhoeven has held the Glory heavyweight title for over 11 years as one of the greatest kickboxers in the history of the sport. His sole professional boxing match to date ended in a second-round knockout victory over Janos Finfera in April 2024.
"Quick update. Just arrived here in London," Fury said on X. "Going home and then back to work. Been away for three months in training camps and now we're off again to the biggest training camp, which is Oleksandr Usyk-Rico Verhoeven in Egypt at the Pyramids.
"It's going to be a great night, a lot of hard work to be done. Two great people, two great champions in their own right, what a privilege.
"Onwards we go, three months away in training camps, Spain, Holland now back to Holland for another three-month training camp."
Usyk will be returning to the ring for the first time since knocking out Daniel Dubois to win the undisputed heavyweight championship for a second time at Wembley Stadium last July.
Having been named undisputed champion at cruiserweight, Usyk repeated the feat at heavyweight in May 2024 when he defeated Tyson Fury by split decision, before following up with a unanimous-decision win in the pair's rematch later that December.
The WBC has allowed the undefeated Usyk a voluntary defence of its belt before he is required to face his mandatory challenger.
Agit Kabayel is Usyk's mandatory for the WBC belt after stopping Damian Knyba in January to extend his perfect record to 27-0 following wins over Zhilei Zhang, Frank Sanchez and Arslanbek Makhmudov, who is preparing to face Tyson Fury in April.
