Heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk takes on Rico Verhoeven on Saturday in Egypt, where the Pyramids of Giza will create the backdrop for what looks set to be a complete mismatch. 

While Usyk has a perfect 24-0 record and has been undisputed champion three times in two weight classes, former kickboxer Verhoeven has contested only one professional boxing bout and looks set for a tricky night in Cairo. 

Paddy Power are offering new customers 50-1 for Usyk to outclass his foe and land the win. Keep reading to see how to claim the offer and those all-important terms and conditions.

Get 50-1 on Oleksandr Usyk to beat Rico Verhoeven

Oleksandr Usyk has achieved everything there is to achieve in boxing. The gifted Ukrainian claimed over 300 wins in the amateur ranks, capping that with an Olympic gold medal, and since turning professional he has put together a perfect 24-0 record with 15 stoppages and has never been put down.

Usyk dominated the cruiserweight division with victories over Mairis Briedis, Murat Gassiev and Tony Bellew to claim all the belts before stepping up to heavyweight. In boxing's blue riband division he has beaten Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury and Daniel Dubois and backed up all of those successes with victories in rematches. He is the only male boxer to become a three-time undisputed champion in the "four-belt era" and has consistently been in the top two of most pound-for-pound lists over the last four years, but on Saturday in Giza he is fighting a relative novice.

Rico Verhoeven has enjoyed stellar success in kickboxing and clearly carries some power. But this is a different discipline and anything other than a comprehensive win for Usyk would register as one of the biggest upsets, if not the biggest, in the history of the sport.  

A shock looks extremely unlikely so new Paddy Power customers should definitely take a look at the 50-1 odds that are available for Usyk to win.
