Rico Verhoeven Is Now a Heavyweight
The Dutch Kickboxing Champion Weighs In at 120 Kg.
Rico Verhoeven, the Dutch kickboxing champion, recently weighed in at 120 kg, putting him in the heavyweight class. This is a significant development for Verhoeven, who has been competing in the light heavyweight division for most of his career. It is unclear what prompted Verhoeven to make the move up in weight, but it could be a sign that he is looking to challenge himself against bigger and stronger opponents.
Verhoeven's Weight Gain
Verhoeven's weight gain is not surprising, as he has been gradually putting on muscle mass in recent years. In 2020, he weighed in at 113 kg, and in 2021, he weighed in at 115 kg. It is possible that Verhoeven is simply continuing to grow into his frame, and that he is now at a point where he can compete effectively at heavyweight.
Verhoeven's Competition
If Verhoeven does decide to move up to heavyweight, he will face some tough competition. The heavyweight division is home to some of the biggest and strongest fighters in the world, including Francis Ngannou, Jon Jones, and Stipe Miocic. Verhoeven will need to be at his best if he wants to compete with these fighters, and it will be interesting to see how he performs in his new weight class.
